Don't other people mind all that XML that is related to Ant and Ivy and many Java projects? I'm not saying XML is categorically bad, it's just a pain to write and there are nicer alternatives available these days. Simply just using s-expressions would be more elegant, easier to write, and easier to parse from Clojure. (Note: I've been writing Ant macros for the past few weeks and I'm starting to develop a very serious case of XML allergy.) OTOH it seems like a waste of time to develop something from scratch if there already exists a perfectly good solution that could be tweaked a bit to work in a clojure context. > - James -- !
