You're right, they should probably live in seq_utils.clj instead. I'll post an issue to move them.
If anyone has strong feelings about names, now would be a good time to air them. My inclination is to leave the names as they are now; while "shuffle" is the name for the Java "random-permutation" function, it mutates the underlying collection, which is what I think when I think "shuffle". -Jason On Feb 11, 2009, at 2:04 PM, bOR_ wrote: > > I was a bit surprised that random-permutation is in lazy-seqs.. there > doesn't seem to be much lazy about it, right?
