I would like to start a discussion on the best syntax for clojure-clr generics because in most large pieces of software on CLR you have to specify types to create generic classes. Heres my proposal.
<> Reader macro expands to the macro g example: (AGenericClass. <Double Integer (a-form-which-returns-class)> arg1 arg2) expands to (AGenericClass. (g Double Integer (a-form-which-returns-class) arg1 arg2) expands to (AGenericClass. (#generic-id-gen-symbol Double Integer ...) ...) and the . operator will look for the #generic-id-gen-symbol as the first argument and will then realize it must create a generic class, the symbol would be invalid in any other place. Or maybe the <> would add metadata to the object, and the . macro could access this metadata to determine if it needs to create a generic? I think the <> Syntax would be the easiest and most convenient to use. Any opinions or other suggestions? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
