IMO, `for` provides a very concise and readable syntax for a rather complicated thing. Doing that with map/filter/closures by hand is much more complicated and verbose. And with the exception of :while, it's easy to understand. So I don't want to miss it. Bye, Tassilo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
