with can mean different things in different languages. In javascript, it means the same thing as doto in clojure but in Python (and many others I'm told) it means that the resource I used in the with block should be automatically cleaned (the file should be closed, the connexion should be freed, etc.) at the end of the block. doto is not ambiguous Beside, clojure itself uses the word with in many of its functions/macros. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
