Hi Dan Please accept my two cents.
"I prefer the indentation; it makes more sense to me." No, he didn't misunderstand, sorry. Anyway, Batsov's Style Guide is an awesome resource, even though you won't follow the items ipsis literis, is good to understand how to work and think in the 'Clojure Way'. For example, when one is new to Ruby, it's normal to find the for statement there. Once one gets used to 'Ruby Style', the each method becomes the standard. An example that I used with my team some days ago: In Portuguese (our native language) we use nouns before adjective. "Um dia quente". In English we use nouns after adjective. "A hot day". Even if you swap the order in Portuguese (um quente dia) or in English (a day hot), a native speaker will understand with more or less effort. Syntactically it's not wrong, semantically is OK, but the construction it's not in the 'Portuguese way' or in the 'English way'. So unless you don't mind to speak with yourself all the time, please try to understand and follow the rules and the way of your new environment. After all you don't want to be seen as an arrogant guy or as someone who doesn't want to learn just because your way makes more sense to you. Please don't understand I'm judging you. I have a very bad impression of LISPs communities in general, but the Clojure community is highly newcomer-friendly and the other guys who tried to help you, for example, are high skilled and very busy professionals. In any other community (I'm cofounder of JS, Clojure and Ruby communities) you woudn't find that good will to help, unfortunately. Sorry for the completely off-topic, best regards and welcome to community.
