Spec is surprisingly easy to grok given how much it does. s/def jumped out at me as an out-of-the-box choice, that I could not immediately rationalize.
So I'm wondering: why not just use standard def? What does one gain/lose? This is not just an academic question. Lots of people like me look at Clojure's APIs as an example to follow, so now I'm wondering when I should make the same choice. I asked Rich about this at the Lisp NYC meetup, the response was to the effect of "vars are already overloaded, lets use a separate database", which makes sense but the implications of that are not clicking. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
