I'm still just a Clojure hobbyist, but I have a question for folks who are using Clojure professionally or for larger scale projects. Recently, I've been finding that it's difficult to come up with names for variables and functions that aren't already in the clojure.core namespace.
For instance, I have a little toy project that digs through DNA sequence data to extract some simple metrics. I obviously can't call a variable or function "seq" because that's meaningful in clojure.core already. It turns out, I also can't call it "bases", because that's a function in clojure.core also. I could call it dna, but that's sort of undescriptive (it's important to me that the name indicate the sequential nature of what the binding refers to). In the course of writing about 30 lines of code last night, I accidentally caused name collisions with two or three other existing functions in clojure.core. Do other people have this problem? Am I just too uncreative? Am I being too terse? Mark -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
