ClojureScript allows fns to be called with too many arguments
ClojureScript doesn't complain when you supply too many arguments to a function, silently dropping the superfluous args. Is this a bug or feature? I'm not sure if I should replicate this behaviour in clojure-scheme, as it differs from Clojure. P.S. is there a separate group for ClojureScript bug discussions? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Is this a bug or feature? IIRC it's a bug of the Javascript language itself. I wouldn't expect it to be carried over to runtimes that can perform arity checks without incurring performance overhead. -Phil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: ClojureScript allows fns to be called with too many arguments
I would probably say that in questions like this, it's best to do it the way Clojure on the JVM does it. ClojureScript is still pretty immature, so using it as a reference standard is going to be troublesome. This is the approach clojure-py is taking. Consider Clojure-jvm to be the reference spec, everything else that doesn't make sense is a bug. Timothy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: ClojureScript allows fns to be called with too many arguments
It could emit a warning but it will probably not be a hard error.
clojure-dev is good for these discussions.
