Running on Windows, I found that I could not delete an edn file that I had read from. I've looked at a few examples of reading edn, and none of them seem to suggest that the user code should explicitly call close() on the Java object, or that it needs to use with-open. Should I be doing something like that?
I wonder why Clojure doesn't call close when it hits EOF: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/c6756a8bab137128c8119add29a25b0a88509900/src/jvm/clojure/lang/EdnReader.java#L134 Maybe it shouldn't be necessary, but it seems safe to me: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/io/PushbackReader.html#close() I've mostly worked on a Mac, where I haven't had trouble. This only happened to me on Windows, and only once (so far). I haven't tried to reproduce it. It is certainly possible I did something else wrong to cause the file to get into an undeletable state. Still, it does seem to me it would be safe to have the Clojure Java source code call close(), unless I'm missing something.
