To clarify, because I detect an implication in your words: I never said the part I “*chose to quote*” was the most “*interesting*”. It was merely the one which I wished clarification on. (The answer affects a planned action of mine.) Good to hear Alex Miller spends much time on documentation. Others, like Kathy Sierra, not only do so, but under infinitely worse conditions. I respect them all. Personally, I allocate much time on technical docs too. I’m participating in Clojurebridge soon, not to mention the private mentoring where I write “class notes” most days a week. I’m behind on them; here’s my backlog of classes to illustrate: - suddenly jumped from machine language <http://www.catonmat.net/c/76625> to get high-level perspective: - class where I explained data (used Clojure datastructures, as it’s the clearest) - class where I explained code (used a simple lisp, and basically explained an evaluator) - class on I/O: polling vs. interrupts vs. hybrid; memory mapped vs. port mapped - class introducing C: lldb, offered choice of texts - class explaining “what’s a sourcecode file”: inodes (And the task requires skills like a certain kind of brevity; reaching down into underlying concepts; visual details like non-intimidating typefaces, etc.) Admittedly, for the Clojure community, I only contributed this doc: http://clojure-doc.org/articles/cookbooks/strings.html … after which I decided to allocate my time to efforts which (hopefully) help people more than liberating programmers from technological drudgery. Anyway, I retract my tiny question; I’ll just privately ask people I know. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
