~~~ (let [errors (atom []) ... (swap! errors conj "error-X") ...) ~~~ though, a more functional approach might look more like: ~~~ (loop [errors [] things-to-check ...] (if (empty? things-to-check) errors (recur (conj errors (check (first things-to-check))) (rest things-to-check)))) ~~~ -- John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
