I suppose it might, if you really need the performance. I've compared the performance slurping in large (10+ MB) files containing a long series of maps and found edn-java to be about twice as fast as Clojure's LispReader. (I can only speculate as to why.) On the other hand, using clojure.core/read is far more idiomatic when calling from Clojure and doesn't require an additional dependency. // Ben -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
