Except you'll have to find another reader macro. #! is already taken. It's a comment-to-end-of-line reader macro to support Unix scripts. A quick search of clojure.org didn't find it, but it's mentioned in the Clojure Programming wikibook: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Clojure_Programming/Tutorials_and_Tips#Shebang_Scripting_in_Clojure -- Michael Wood <esiot...@gmail.com> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
