Unfortunately defonce semantics on defmulti is intentional. Usually what I do as a workaround is clear the defmulti right before defining it: (def mymulti nil) (defmulti mymulti type) Ugly but preferable to the alternative. I believe the motivation behind the current behaviour is to preserve the method table upon reload; the unchanging dispatch function may just be collateral damage. I haven't looked at the implementation of defmulti, but it may be possible to have reloads change the dispatch function without clearing the method table. -Phil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
