I noticed that cljs.core redefines String.prototype.apply. Being new to Clojure, I don't understand what this redefinition does or what it is for. But I do know that redefining functions in the JS standard library, or defining new ones on standard objects, is something that should be done with great care, to avoid breaking other pieces of JavaScript running in the same context (e.g. on the same page). (And lest you think your JavaScript is sure to be the only JavaScript on your page, bear in mind that some browsers make web pages accessible to blind users by injecting their own JS into the page.)
I know there are always trade-offs. And perhaps this definition of String.prototype.apply is known not to conflict with any other JavaScript code. But I would appreciate an explanation of what purpose it serves. Thanks, Matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
