>From the Java documentation: "*Note: It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. Unless a newinstance is required, the static factory valueOf(boolean) is generally a better choice. It is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance.*"
Emphasis not mine. IIRC, it was deemed that people doing such stuff basically write buggy programs and it is not Clojure's task to fix this (paying a speed penalty in if). Does the serialisation thing shed some new light on this issue? Sincerely Meikel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
