See unit-of-time in http://letoverlambda.com/index.cl/guest/chap3.html defunits and defunits-chaining in http://letoverlambda.com/index.cl/guest/chap5.html There's also a Clojure version floating around the web, and I think I've seen it in some of Stu's presentations. But I think that doesn't try to compile to constants, e.g., it omits the "defunits chaining" part. > could the same be done in Java? I think, Java compilers do a bit of constant folding for things like int x = 1 + 2 * 3; // -> int x = 7; or final static int MAX=10; // ... int x = MAX + 1; // -> int x = 11; Bye, Tassilo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
