I fully support Warren's point of view. I'm also unhappy with current behaviour of sequence functions (more accurate: I think it can be made even better).
In my mind, protocols (interfaces?) based, polymorphic core functions is just what we need. Moreover, similar request has been done already (e.g. see CLJ-803) for reasons completely unrelated to the topic of this thread. I think some parts of clojure can be considered "broken", quoting from doc-strings for deftype, defrecord, extend: "Alpha - subject to change", "It is TBD how to specify which impl to use". I believe Warren has provided some constructive criticism of the language and rised important problems. It's a good idea to create corresponding wiki page on JIRA. This thread was definitely useful for me, and I find the discussion interesting and worthy too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
