I see that there are several ways of instantiating a record :
(->Book "Lord of the Rings", "Tolkien") (Book. "Lord of the Rings", "Tolkien") #user.Book{:title "Lord of the Rings", :author "Tolkien"} Questions : 1) The second version is referred to as the "original" version so I'm wondering which is the preferred method. 2) Why is the third version not within a list? I thought that for the language to consider something "callable" it had to be the first argument in a list (eg : (+ 1 2)) 3) The record that is returned via (def b [version of choice goes here]) is treated as a map when using the form (:title b) but doesn't treat it as a map when using the form (b :title) which seems pretty inconsistent to me; is there are valid reason for this inconsistency? I'm sure I'm missing something. Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
