Sorry dude. I think it's really insightful to see lots of different solutions to small point problems like this when you're learning a language - particularly when the issue of idiom is being discussed. I've certainly found this thread educational and I hope I'm not annoying too many people :) Things I'm finding particularly helpful: * into / for * comp vs #() vs -> * split a map and zip it vs a single pass with a more complex function The into / for thing was great because it's something that seems very Clojurish that I wouldn't have thought of without input. I'm very excited about Clojure. I think it's going to be core to my team's work over the next couple of years. I haven't been able to do serious functional programming for about three decades but Clojure really provides that option. We're already using Scala for certain performance-critical pieces of our system but it's not a language that I can present to most of my web developers - they're used to dynamic scripting languages, no type system, no compile/deploy/run cycle. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
