As a convenience a factory function (Point->) is created for you, but you can always create instances of your record via the constructor (Point.). Point. is a macro that expands to (new Point). Take a look at http://clojure.org/datatypes for an introduction of what is going on when you use defrecord and http://clojure.org/java_interop#Java%20Interop-The%20Dot%20special%20form-(new%20Classname%20args*)for the constructor documentation.
