People should always prefer =. If there is a perf, difference we can make that go away. Then the only difference with == is that it will fail on non-numbers, and that should be the only reason to choose it.</p> <p>richhickey said: Updating tickets (#94, #96, #104, #119, #163)</p> <p>laurentpetit said: Richn, by "will fail on non-numbers", do you mean "should throw an exception" (and thus the patch must change the code), or just as it works today :</p> <p>(== :a :a)<br/> false</p> <p>?</p> <p>richhickey said: I've fixed the code so == on non-numbers throws</p> Approval Not Approved Global Rank
