"It's for the same reason we don't wear animal skins or hunt the wooly mammoth. Because we're not *savages*." http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/06/06 Seriously though; there are all kinds of color subtleties that are helpful when coding. I like using hl-line-mode to make the current line slightly different from the background color, focusing the current hunk in magit, changing the color when lines go over 80 columns, or dimming parens in order to emphasize the code they contain. M-x vc-annotate also uses many shades colors to great effect to visualize how old each line of code is relative to others. -Phil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
