There's also this: "Overall, records will be better than structmaps for all information-bearing purposes, and you should move such structmaps to defrecord. It is unlikely much code was trying to use structmaps for programming constructs, but if so, you will find deftype much more suitable." from http://clojure.org/datatypes FWIW there's also a comment on stackoverflow Michał Marczyk: "in fact, the latter is deprecated in 1.2" (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4288360/clojures-macro-define-a-binding-whose-name-is-composed-from-an-argument). I don't know if there's any more official statement anywhere. Myself, I really like struct-maps and I hope they stay around. -Lee -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
