Hi Mark, That's really handy! Java interop. - proxies Perhaps should also be tagged as "anonymous class instance"? I think super-categories would be useful :) How are you recording these tags? It would be really nice if this info could be available in a map from a clj file in contrib, that way

Problems with read-line

While using the code distributed with Stu Halloway's "Programming Clojure" book I get the following exception from (read-line): java.lang.ClassCastException: clojure.lang.LineNumberingPushbackReader (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0) So I downloaded the latest trunk from SVN, and (read-line) works fine. Ho

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I do plan to do all of this. 1) Make the names links to their API documentation. 2) Add commas between names. 3) Add color-coding to visually distinguish between special-forms, functions and macros. 4) Allow names to be in more than one category. I'll send a

I'd suggest playing with much less complex classes for proxy first. A very good place to start are ActionListeners from swing. This is a really useful application of proxy - very necessary and practical... and you only need to implement one function. Regards, Tim. On Mar 9, 6:17 pm, Paul Moose

I feel I should clarify that I'm not trying to argue that a cyclic vector is a great idea - it is something something I was playing with in the midst of solving an euler problem. What I'm more interested in is the question of how to accomplish this sort of thing ("proxying" an existing instance, i
