Damn, reverted 1162? Any chance y’all will revisit?

yes, haven't gotten to it yet - broke types implementing both IDeref and Future

Cool, that’s good to know. Thanks

CLJ-2568 ❤️

almost the highest voted thing in Ask Clojure :)

...and we were prepping to take Alpha 7 to production! 🙂 Will update to Alpha 8 and test today...

I'll update the patch for protocol based dispatch for walk, it has nice performance and extensibility benefits

after we ran into the datomic deref thing in alpha7 all tests pass now with alpha8. Excited to see walk preserving metadata now, thanks for that!
