you can always make your own with a little macro but if you just started
learning today you may want to stick with some...
I, like you, wanted a version that returns true or false a couple of
months ago.. here it is:
(defmacro in?
"Returns true if colle contains elm, false otherwise."
[colle elm]
`(if (some #{~elm} ~colle) true false))
Hope that helps...notice this is a macro not a function - the call to
in? will expand at compile time into the body of the macro...in other
words you've just created some new syntax!

Hi!
I've just started learning Clojure today. I've started reading
"Clojure - Functional Programming for the JVM"
(http://java.ociweb.com/mark/clojure/article.html
<http://java.ociweb.com/mark/clojure/article.html#Collections>).
Anyway, on the collections part
(http://java.ociweb.com/mark/clojure/article.html#Collections) it
called my attention that 'some' returns "nil" instead of "false". The
examples given (being stooges a vector of Strings) are:
(not-every? #(instance? String %) stooges) ; -> false
(some #(instance? Number %) stooges) ; -> nil
Is there a reason why (some) doesn't return false also? I've read
through the doc but as I supposed, there's no explanation about the
reasoning behind it.
Thanks!
