> and they don't have any kind of "class slot" Yeah, that really sucks. Objective-S's object literals do. Otherwise they really wouldn't be object literals, would they? It was really an accident, because Smalltalk's literal arrays use #(), and since I wanted to have dictionary literals use the basic same look, I chose #{}. And also I use {} for blocks and block structure, rather than []. Well, it turns out you can tuck a name between the # and the {}. Yay! Classes. And thus objects! EDIT: Just saw that edn uses a very similar mechanism. Neat!
