> I'm missing something in your comment about tagged types - is rainbow doing it wrong? Arc internally uses a vector to represent tagged types afaik, but rainbow uses a custom "Tagged" class. The example you give behaves in the same way in rainbow.
No, I just got confused with the lack of 'rep in the call* test ^^ Sorry!
(thing!method arg1 argn) feels more natural to me, but I don't have any idea of any potential mismatch in the way java and arc works.
it's true, when you write it that way, it feels more natural. At a first glance though, this means (thing 'method) must return a method-invoker, which then gets invoked with zero or more arguments. It seems like this would add complexity - instead of calling the method, we call to get the invoker and then call it. The question, as always, is whether the increase in readability merits the increase in complexity ... we'll see what happens I suppose.
