It's not just less convenient, but genuinely incorrect to use dot- notation for protocol functions. Not every class that satisfies the protocol will be implementing the interface directly, and so dot- notation will fail on them. The interface generated by defprotocol exists primarily to allow the compiler to optimize certain cases, not because it's an interface your application should be using. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
