It's really hard to come up with a consistent practice that works well for all scenarios. Even clojure.core is inconsistent in this regard -- the sequence fns take the seq at the end, the collection functions (like assoc) take the collection first. Whichever way you design your functions, half the time the arguments will be in the wrong place for what someone wants to do. If you want a purely compositional style, the only way to do it is to only allow single-argument functions, a la Haskell. -SS --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
