The reason is simply that Java methods are not first-class objects in Clojure. Clojure functions are classes that implement IFn, and thus can be passed around as objects. That's all higher-order functions are. The reason the anonymous function technique works is that it creates a class that implements IFn, which just happens to call the Java method you want. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
