Yes thank you Rich. I had the suspicion that my expectations had some
contradictions hidden in there.
I would be very interested in hearing your opinion about using dynamic
vars. I'm primarily interested in using them for avoiding passing
around long and unintuitive argument lists.
eg:
(defn my-print [planet country city str]
(println str("we printed " str "at " city ", " country ", "
planet)))
I would much rather do:
(defn my-print [str]
(println str("we printed " str "at " *city* ", " *country* ", "
*planet*)))
which seems much cleaner, except that when I make closures I have to
give careful thought as to whether I want to capture the var or not.
Is this a programming practice you would consider? or avoid?
