I've had the same experience with Common Lisp code. On the other hand, CL also has the problem that everyone defines their own batch of little utility functions, with a lot of overlap but all slightly different. clojure.contrib is slowly evolving into a standard library, but so far it has been more valuable as a testing ground for features that later went into core -- the lib system, several predicates, and defonce, just to name a few. I think contrib is a good place to post any code that might be generally useful. If there are things in contrib that you feel are critical to Clojure itself, you can lobby for their inclusion in the core. -Stuart Sierra --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
