I am curious as to why first (and other functions) are defined in
core as:
(def
^{:arglists
'([coll])
:doc "Returns the first item in the collection. Calls seq on
its
argument. If coll is nil, returns
nil."
:added
"1.0"}
first (fn first [coll] (. clojure.lang.RT (first coll))))
instead of:
(def
^{:arglists '([coll])
:doc "Returns the first item in the collection. Calls seq on its
argument. If coll is nil, returns nil."
:added "1.0"}
first (fn first [coll] (clojure.lang.RT/first coll)))
When the general consensus seems to be that the latter is more
idiomatic/readable, especially for beginners?
