Maybe (quit-clojure) instead of (quit)? This would save vanilla `quit' just in case it's needed later/elsewhere. Might also be nice to have (exit-clojure). Ditto saving vanilla `exit' for other purposes
When first configuring Clojure on both linux box and windows from the command line (e.g. pre-slime, sans Jline ); the (quit) form was one of the first things I evaluated at the REPL :P Ctl-C eventually got me out, but for those unfamiliar with with the Java/JVM this leaves a lingering question, "Did that just stop the REPL or did I effectively kill the entire process tree?...." Providing an (optional) y-or-no? termination check might be nice also, as it would allow for a kindly, "Quitting Clojure now will terminate the running process - Really quit Clojure? y-or-n" - sp On Nov 30, 11:35 am, Paul Barry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It's a minor thing, but wouldn't it be a good idea to put (defn quit > [] (System/exit 0)) in clojure core, just to make quitting out of the > REPL more obvious?
