Except that with (comment ...) the stuff in ... has to have balanced parentheses (& possibly meet other constraints since it's being parsed?). I'm finding that ;, #_, and (comment ...) generally suffice but every once in a while I do miss having block comments (like /* ... */, or Common Lisp's #| ... |#), e.g. when I want to comment out a big chunk of partially-written code that may not be balanced, or when I have a real comment that includes partial bits of code that may not be balanced. -Lee -- Lee Spector, Professor of Computer Science School of Cognitive Science, Hampshire College 893 West Street, Amherst, MA 01002-3359 lspec...@hampshire.edu, http://hampshire.edu/lspector/ Phone: 413-559-5352, Fax: 413-559-5438 Check out Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines: http://www.springer.com/10710 - http://gpemjournal.blogspot.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
