Hi, This is trivial question. Which style do you like? (def *counts* (ref {}))
(defn dec-or-dissoc! [key] (dosync (let [n (@*counts* key)] (if (< 1 n) (alter *counts* assoc key (dec n)) (alter *counts* dissoc key))))) (defn dec-or-dissoc! [key] (dosync (alter *counts* (fn [m] (let [n (m key)] (if (< 1 n) (assoc m key (dec n)) (dissoc m key))))))) I think former style is normal, but latter is easy to replace ref with atom.
