The question that's left for me is: why vectors and lists? I mean, from a data format perspective, and a non-clojure implementor, I'm not sure the distinction makes sense. After all for the _data format_, in its serialized form, the vector will not be a random access structure. It has to be deserialized, and access to an element will have linear time complexity. Again, I understand its relevance from the clojure perspective. Is this just "too important" for edn's current "implementor", clojure ?
