Daniel the decision was to keep things working and add speed as an option by using +' (and friends) specifically. So actually what happened is exactly what you wished for :). Just tested with the newest code: user=> (defn fact [n] (if (zero? n) 1 (*' n (fact (dec' n))))) #'user/fact user=> (fact 42) java.lang.ArithmeticException: integer overflow (NO_SOURCE_FILE:3) user=> (defn fact [n] (if (zero? n) 1 (* n (fact (dec n))))) #'user/fact user=> (fact 42) 1405006117752879898543142606244511569936384000000000N Regards, Heinz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
