Hi all, If you have a protocol
(defprotocol Foo (foo [x] [x y])) and implement it for the record (defrecord Bar [p q r] Foo (foo [x] x) (foo [x y] [x y])) you write each method separately. The same is true for extend-type. Yet, if you use extend-protocol syntax is more like usual Clojure multi-arity function definition: (extend-protocol Foo Bar (foo ([x] x) ([x y] [x y]))) The first question is why there is a difference? Secondly, if you mess up which syntax is where, the error you will get is quite obscure, nothing guards you against essentially a *wrong syntax*: both extend-type and extend-protocol are macros, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to add a quick check on correctness. But lastly, wouldn’t it be better to have a uniform syntax? Regards, Alexey -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
