I admit I started without reading the documentation, but having got stuck I then read the documentation - both that at Clojure.org and that in the Wikibook - carefully. It didn't help. I've been writing LISP for half the history of the language, so I'm not exactly unfamiliar with it. > #t t => true > define defun => defn > car, cdr, caar, etc. ~> first, rest, ffirst, rrest, frest, rfirst > > arglists are vectors because [ ] stand out better This is very badly missing the point. The point about LISP is that (ideally at least) it is completely regular and orthogonal, with no artificial syntax. A list is a list is a list. Introducing irregularity for the sake of has no benefit and only disbenefit. If arglists are vectors for some efficiency reason connected to the need to integrate with Java, that's a good reason, and worth putting up with. But if it's syntax for the sake of syntax, then that's just counterproductive. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
