Good Evening Clojurians,

I have been working on a Clojure implementation of the format function
from Common Lisp and it's coming along well enough that I thought I'd
share.

You can see/download the current state of it in its github project:
http://github.com/tomfaulhaber/cl-format/

It's currently about 2/3 complete including iteration, conditionals,
and floating point in all their various flavors. I'm finding that it's
already a lot more useful than the Java format, but that might just be
my bias :-). The README on github has a detailed implementation status
that I keep up-to-date.

If you don't know about Common Lisp's super-powerful format function,
you can check it out here, in "Practical Common Lisp,"
http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/a-few-format-recipes.html or here, in
"Common Lisp the Language,"
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/ai-repository/ai/html/cltl/clm/node200.html.

I'm definitely interested in feedback on it in terms of style, on what
you're using it for, and on what features you'd like to see next. I
also want to hear about bugs. I'm sure there are plenty!

You can add feedback here, via github or find me as "replaca" on
#clojure.

Enjoy!

Tom
