I have to agree with this. I wouldn't dream of giving somebody Clojure as a first language. If I really wanted to teach an s-expr language as a first language I'd use one of the nice integrated scheme environments. I don't think the goals of making Clojure a little easier to start with and keeping it a "professional" language are necessarily totally at odds but efforts to build something like Processing or even DrScheme on it seem misdirected. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
