Is this method discouraged? It's just slow - you have to load the JVM, then clojure, then it starts working on your scripts. You can use nailgun to fix most of that. See my writeup on clojure without the Java (which also recommends the env hack) for more on that - and other such tricks.: http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/papers/simple-clojure.html <mike -- Mike Meyer <m...@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
