Or it could just be that some of the other things on that list were so compelling that they overshadowed these. * The REPL * Functional Programming * Ease of development These are the bread-and-butter of programming, so much that I'd have a hard time ever working in (or even taking seriously) a language that didn't support them. I'm a fan of using multimethods to achieve polymorphism, but polymorphism is only needed in a small subset of the code I write, while the features above affect *everything*. -Phil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
