It might be worth mentioning that, ultimately, python class instances are
syntactical sugar built around an internal __dict__. It gets twistier,
since classes are also instances of the base class object.
It would be tricky (though I've seen an example...maybe in Joy of Clojure?
I think the

I think it's also important here that Clojure methods are actual Java
methods - Clojure likes to stay close to the host functionality. A map
with a function isn't a class with a method because the JVM bytecode
doesn't let you invoke it that way directly. A Clojure function is not
a method because
A subtle difference between a map of functions and a Python class is that
the class has implicit "self" or "this". Otherwise, these are semantically
the same. Well, ignoring that Clojure maps are immutable.
In fact, C++ compilers compile methods by inserting a first "this" argument
and mangling
Hello,
I've got a clojure and a python piece of code. Both seem to create what can
be considered an instance of a class. Wherein lies the conceptual
difference?
Python:
class MYCLASS():
def __init__(self, x):
self.x = x
def MYMETHOD(self):
...
def MYFUNCTION():
