There is one feature that I really miss from newLISP and seems like it could be a natural extension to Clojure, and that is implicit indexing for lists and arrays.
Clojure already has something similar in its use of keywords to act as functions that look themselves up in a map. This is basically the same concept, but using numbers instead. Implicit indexing creates a really elegant syntax for finding elements and ranges in a list or array. Here's an example: > (setf mylist '(a b c d e f g)) (a b c d e f g) > (mylist 0) a > (mylist -1) g > (0 3 mylist) (a b c) Has this been considered already? Would this be something that could be added to the language syntax? Thanks for your consideration!
