I thought there might be a performance reason in there. Thanks for the
pointer to clj-time. Looks like a huge improvement over java date/calendar.
BTW: love the book. Mine is already getting dog eared.

The built-in Java
I've been writing a program that requires the use of java.util.Calendar and
its descendent java.util.GregorianCalendar. One thing I'd hoped to do was
compare two Calendar objects with , but the compiler complained that the
arguments to didn't inherit from Number which was a surprise to me because
The built-in Java comparison operators don't honor Comparable either.
In Clojure, it's about keeping (pure number) math fast.
If you are doing any nontrivial date work, I recommend you look at clj-
time (http://github.com/clj-sys/clj-time), a Clojure wrapper for Joda
Time. Then, if you
== = = are all numeric equality/comparison functions.
= and 'compare are object equality/comparison functions.
