      vector-of

      clojure.core

      Available since 1.2 (source)
      • (vector-of t)
      • (vector-of t & elements)
      Creates a new vector of a single primitive type t, where t is one
of :int :long :float :double :byte :short :char or :boolean. The
resulting vector complies with the interface of vectors in general,
but stores the values unboxed internally.
 Optionally takes one or more elements to populate the vector.

[1 2 3]  ; <-- note, these are unboxed internally

user=> (vector-of :int 1 2 3)
[1 2 3]  ; same here

user=> (type (conj (vector-of :int) 1 2 3))

        The primary use of vector-of is to be space efficient. As most of Clojure deals with boxed types, boxing/unboxing will happen everytime an element is taken out/inserted.
