Just a little simpler, that's all. > This example has maybe a problem : doesn't the symmetry of these > Arithmetic operators seems to be crying for type multiple dispatch in > this particular case ? :-) Yes, in the general case, arithmetic requires multimethods. But multimethods -- or any dynamic type dispatch -- are too slow for math- heavy code anyway. So, for that reason, it's not a great example. But it was the first thing I thought of. -SS -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
