Beats me, I'm just following the example from David Nolen earlier in this thread :) Seriously, I'm just starting out with Clojure (a few weeks) and this is my way to get to know the language, so I'm not the right person to ask. I may have made mistakes in my code, and will be happy to be corrected. Still, it looks like 1.2 may get type hints: > ^long and ^double hints allowed on args > other reference type hints allowed as well > unlike for non-statics, these will be enforced. >From http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/clojure/Enhanced_Primitive_Support But note also the start of the page: > This work is not promised to become part of Clojure, as is or otherwise, now > or in the future. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
