I am skeptical of this claim. Since static functions lose some of their dynamism, I don't think library writers are going to rush to convert all their code over to the "fast" format. I think library writers will care the most about ensuring their functions play well with Clojure's dynamic ecosystem, and so, as before, type-optimized code will be written only sparingly. (I'll admit though, I don't fully understand yet which dynamic features are lost by static functions, and how much of an impact it will have, so I could be wrong about this. Just wanted to throw this out as something to consider.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
