Well, currently it's not directly interchangeable because deep-freeze dereferences atoms and refs, whilst the core read and pr functions do not. I think it might be more useful if freeze/thaw worked on the same domain as read/pr by default. That way I can swap in and out different serialization functions without altering the behaviour of the application. I'm also not really sold on serializing atoms and refs. If I serialize a data structure like [1 2 3], then when I deserialize it I get back a structure that can be substituted for the original. But if I serialize an atom, then when I deserialize it I get a completely different atom containing the same data, one which cannot be substituted for the original. I guess what I'd like a mode where I can say "act like read/pr" and for deep-freeze to ignore metadata, refs and atoms. - James -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
