None of what has been said so far makes me believe that our usage of "use" is "bad". It's like a rope, you can use it for useful purposes or you can hang yourself. You use it at your own taste and will.
Lack of discipline does not constitute for me a reason to trash a feature as scarce as his usefulness seems to be. :refer :all can be used as badly as :use. I am not convinced that removing a facade and leaving the feature available through a backdoor makes life better for anyone. :use is easily searchable and quite obvious. Not sure about spotting :refer :all in 15 name space require clauses. You will simply end up say "do not use refer all" instead of warning against using use. Gee, What a lot of "use"s in this thread :) Luc P. > One of the main issues I have faced with :use is, understanding a > non-trivial codebase becomes very difficult and almost always requires > Emacs Meta-dot. > > I'd vote for deprecating :use. > > Shantanu > > -- > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Clojure" group. > To post to this group, send email to clojure@googlegroups.com > Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with your > first post. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > clojure+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/clojure?hl=en > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Clojure" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to clojure+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > > -- Softaddicts<lprefonta...@softaddicts.ca> sent by ibisMail from my ipad! -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
