defrecord gives you a lot of stuff, even before you start to add interfaces /
protocols:
(defrecord Foo [a])
(ancestors Foo)
=> #{clojure.lang.IPersistentCollection clojure.lang.Seqable
clojure.lang.ILookup clojure.lang.Associative clojure.lang.IKeywordLookup
java.util.Map clojure.lang.IPersistentMap clojure.lang.IObj
clojure.lang.Counted clojure.lang.IMeta java.lang.Object java.io.Serializable
java.lang.Iterable}
If you need some of that stuff, defrecord is more appropriate. If you need only
a named class + IFn, use deftype. If you need only IFn, use reify.
