Definitely some truth to this! I had actually gotten turned off by the -> operator, for example ... and started messing with scheme. ... wondering why we needed all this stuff when the MIT videos people recommended didn't seem to need it (at least up to the chapter I made it to). Maybe there should be a list of functions and techniques for "minimal clojure". It could even include the -> function as long as it doesn't include the other way. Then we could start to add stuff back in. Add something in as long as we remove at least one other thing. or can someone recommend such a list right now? I guess it would technically be all the stuff Rich had to implement in java before he could start adding more stuff using clojure, right? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
