Unexpected behavior with dispatch on Keyword via protocols

Defect Minor Open Unresolved Unassigned Max Penet bug enhancement Sun, 18 Nov 2012 05:32:49 -0600 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 15:27:05 -0600 0 2 <p>This is a known issue which will have to wait for if and when Keywords and Symbols become proper types in ClojureScript.</p> <p>Extending js/Object is not recommended, if you actually need to add functionality to the base JS native types the convention is different from Clojure: default instead of Object, string instead of js/String. Please refer to core.cljs if you want more examples.</p> <p>Thanks for the pointer about default and string, I didn't know about that. </p> <p>I reported the issue at the demand of bbloom. It does seem to be difficult to address without taking a (major) performance hit unfortunately. </p> Global Rank
