Equality in Clojure (the
=function) always tests value, not identity, so two strings are=if they have the same contents.For most Java types, including String, Clojure
=dispatches to Java.equals. String.equals is defined as “represents the same sequence of characters.”If you want to test identity (Are these pointers to the same location in memory?) use the
identical?function.
