It's useful in all the cases where a blocks are useful in Ruby. It simply saves typing out "(fn [])" and IMO makes the code look a little cleaner.
eg. (with_file "myfile.txt" (write "asdf") (close)) compared to. (with_file "myfile.txt" (fn [] (write "asdf") (close))) There's arguably no difference. I just prefer the first one. -Patrick --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
