This is just an idle curiosity up for discussion, but in Clojure, if (= a b) is true, then given some function f, it is not necessarily true that (= (f a) (f b))
For instance: (defn check-eq [f a b] [(= a b) (= (f a) (f b))]) (check-eq #(conj % 1) '(1 2 3) [1 2 3]) [true false] Even though the behaviour of lists and vectors differs under specific functions, they still count as equal, but this statement "If a = b, then (f a) = (f b)" seems like it would be some sort of rule or axiom about functional programming. What's the FP purists' view on this? -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
