Hi all, just nit picking about Clojure's String API.
I've been comparing it with Java's
<http://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_strings.htm>, and I noticed that
(not surprisingly) they are very similar.
There are just 2-3 functions that exist in Java but don't have an
equivalent in Clojure. I was wondering if they could be worth adding to
clojure.string :
(.indexOf s "c") and (.lastIndexOf "c")
(.startsWith s "danc") and (.endsWith s "ing")
(.charAt s 5)
same as (get s 5) but expresses a clearer intent. It's less general
than (get) though as it only applies to Strings, so that might be
unnecessary sugar.
.indexOf and .lastIndexOf are indicated in the Clojure Cheatsheet
<http://clojure.org/cheatsheet>, maybe .startsWith and .endsWith also
deserve to be mentioned there?
I've been wondering why some functions have been ported, like (lower-case)
for (.toLowerCase), but not the ones mentioned above.
I told you it was nit picking (^c^) Clojure's API is awesome as it is.
