I agree it would be a worthwhile experiment to adjust the auto-indenter for a while and see how it feels. In the meantime, I *strongly urge* everyone to check out Grand's flatter cond macro: https://github.com/cgrand/parsley/blob/master/src/net/cgrand/parsley/util.clj It lets you insert lets in the middle of cond expressions (like you can currently do with for) like: (cond (pos? x) 2 :let [y (* x x)] (> y 20) 4)) This totally transformed my coding style and improved the readability of my code substantially. Highly recommended. Since it is backwards compatible, I very much wish it were part of the core, and see no reason that it couldn't be. --Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
