Yesterday someone else suggested to eliminate the (first (filter ..)) pattern. In Common Lisp it is called FIND. But that is already taken. I agree with you that find-first is not really much easier. It reduces indeed some complexity, as it eliminates one level of nesting, but to make it useful it would need a short name. Christophe Grand suggest (seek ...), which I personally like. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
