?? Using 1.2: sandbox=> (defn bar [] "foo") #'sandbox/bar sandbox=> (defn foo [] (.length (bar))) #'sandbox/foo Reflection warning, NO_SOURCE_PATH:1 - reference to field length can't be resolved. sandbox=> (defn ^String baz [] "foo") #'sandbox/baz sandbox=> (defn foo [] (.length (baz))) #'sandbox/foo Looks like it recognizes it as hinting the return type to me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
