My experience is that the highest frequency of #s in production code is at the starts of lambdas; the next highest is regexes, which as programs of a sort are also quasi-lambda-like (though not usable directly as operators). Autogensyms in macros are a distant third and use the # as a suffix, not a prefix. The other uses of # are less frequent still. At the bottom of the heap, #_ is only used temporarily in debugging, for the most part. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
