Well you're going to get a slight performance boost by going to a controlled mutable state as you won't have to modify your entire state tree whenever any object changes, you'll only have to modify the part that changes. But what I see as the biggest benefit to using mutable state, is being able multi-thread your program. Running everything on one thread is soooo 20th century. ;-) Timothy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
