It would be very interesting to have a "maximally informative mode" and a "generate really tense code" mode. There is tradition behind such an idea. It would be especially interesting if the maximally informative mode had hooks tools could exploit. For example, Midje provides a hack where you can declare records in a way that the contained functions can be mocked: `defrecord-openly`. I expect almost no one uses it, even though it is no different than `defrecord` when in "production mode": it's too weird looking. But people would use it if ordinary defrecord methods weren't inlined during development. There's no *semantic* reason why parts of Clojure should *always* be closed to introspection-type actions. It's purely a matter of time constraints on the core team, which I am certainly not in a position to judge. How much core time should be spent on saving anonymous programmers time vs. saving cycles for anonymous apps running on the Amazon cloud? It's a tough tradeoff. -------- Looking for 1/2-time employment as a Clojure programmer Latest book: /Functional Programming for the Object-Oriented Programmer/ https://leanpub.com/fp-oo -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
