Clojure vs. The Static Typing World

And what does 55.1 % 102 produce? 1e-12 % 3i+12?

And if your answer is "I only need it to work on integers" then don't blame Haskell when I choose to specialise it to Int!

I'm a bad product manager. The % should round the value to a tenth and then concat.

This is a silly example, of course, but the real world isn't short on creativity/silliness.

And for complex numbers?

Precondition: complex numbers are not supported. Unspecified behavior.

OK, then I choose to specialise to the type Double!
