Yes, yes! My suggestion would be to modify clojure.lang.Script to make it work like bash/perl/ruby; i.e., script is first argument, command-line args follow, if no args at all read script from STDIN. I would like both the REPL and Script to be callable from the same main (), i.e. you should just be able to call java -jar clojure.jar without naming a class. Default behavior would be to run a script, as with bash/perl/ruby, use a special command-line arg to run a REPL. Or maybe imitate python, and run a REPL if there are no command-line args. Either way is cool by me. If I have time today, I'll cook up some code for this. -Stuart Sierra --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
