When I want to add print commands for debugging, I usually either do it the way David Nolen described, i.e., binding _ to a printf statement, or I use a little utility macro like this (picked up from stackoverflow):
(defmacro dbg[x] `(let [x# ~x] (println "dbg:" '~x "=" x#) x#)) I agree with Evan Gamble that I frequently end up with code that is a mixture of conditional branching and binding. This results in highly indented and less readable code and I think Clojure would really benefit from some additions to ameliorate this. Evan's solution (https://github.com/egamble/let-else) allows you to put conditions in your let. Cgrand's solution (https://github.com/cgrand/utils) allows you to put lets in your cond. Either way works well. I think Evan's way results in somewhat more compact code for the common case, whereas Cgrand's way feels a little more versatile (and his "flatter cond" is what I use). I strongly urge you to pick one of these two techniques and include it in your project. Once you try it and see how much cleaner the code is, you'll be hooked. --Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
