I find the current syntax more natural. I see "!" as the pipe and ">" and "<" as the direction of data flow. So ">!" is pushing data into the pipe, and "<!" is pulling data out of it. Reversing it would assume that everyone is mentally converting the functions into infix operators in their heads. - James -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
