Yes, please, I don't want to be forced to work around automated downloaders. e.g. Like OpenWrt's build system that wants to download huge amounts of code if you don't watch it instead of just failing so you can tell it to look *over there* where I've already downloaded 90% of it! Of course, after it happens the first time you learn to be more careful, but I would prefer to be told what the dependencies are so that I can get them myself, or to be asked whether to download them than just automatically downloading them. > Regarding documentation, I remember throwing around ideas in irc some > months ago about how to fold documentation from gen-class'ed libs into > a library's broader javadoc.

About documentation: I believe this has been mentioned before, but I haven't been able to find the thread. Some functions are documented like this: "assoc[iate]. When applied to a map[...]" This makes it difficult if you're looking for some function and don't know the exact name. e.g.: user=> (find-doc "quotient") nil user=> (find-doc "quot\\[ient") ------------------------- clojure.core/quot ([num div]) quot[ient] of dividing numerator by denominator. nil Also, while looking for the thread mentioning the above, I found another unresolved documentation-related thread: http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/9d18bc892ff523d5/b21c03cfb26ea084#b21c03cfb26ea084 This is about the "count" function being difficult to find if you're trying to find the "length" or "size" of something. -- Michael Wood <esiot...@gmail.com> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
