Yeah, part of me wishes that Leiningen would get official endorsement as "the" build tool for Clojure in the same way that sbt has become the semi-official / partially-endorsed build tool for Scala. Having tried to introduce quite a few people to Clojure that do not have Java backgrounds, Leiningen has always ended up being the simplest choice and the easiest for them to understand. > Despite using ? and * in bash, that was not clear to me.

Even today tho', I sometimes look at Clojure code containing things that don't immediate say "identifier" and I have to squint and shake my head :) > It's hard to get into the shoes of someone who doesn't know > what you know. Very true - and that's probably why the documentation isn't as n00b-friendly as it could be. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://www.getrailo.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
