I think clojure is a little torn between functional thinking and oo thinking - java vs haskell (i must admit that I am not originally a lisper, more of a java and functional guy)
Functional / haskell style is what you see in map. that collection is at the end. The preceding arguments are like parameters for the function, suited for partial invocations map f coll take 10 coll java (or maybe oo) style is to think abvout the object as the first parameter conj coll e nth coll 10 I think it is not so intuitive.... If the function exist in the functional world (reduce filter map cons..) then the collection is at the end, otherwise it tends to be the first parameter. But, of course, if the function has a variable length argument list, that must be at the end --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
