Hi,
Clojure doesn't read files. It reads, compiles and executes a stream of
toplevel expressions. Hence the file is compilable, but not readable.
If you do not want to execute the forms contained in a file, you have to avoid
any dynamic feature. In particular aliased keywords with :: since thos
I finally found the time to watch the video recording of Rich's
keynote at Clojure/conj. Lots of interesting stuff, as usual...
When he started talking about transients and pods, I saw the term
"state monad" flashing in the background. I suppose most people don't
see, which is why I am writing thi
Hi
If I have the following short Clojure program:
;; unread.clj
(require '[clojure.string :as s])
(prn ::s/kwd)
The second form can't be read by the clojure reader:
user=> (def reader (java.io.PushbackReader. (clojure.java.io/reader
"unread.clj")))
#'user/reader
user=>

In the Hiccup library, some functions take an optional map of
attributes as their first argument.
So I could write:
(text-field :name)
(text-field :name "Bob")
(text-field {:class "foo"} :name)
(text-field {:class "foo"} :name "Bob")
The question is how best to represent this in the argl

I develop Ruby professionally, and write Clojure in my spare time.
Off hand, I can think of several Ruby libraries I'd consider to have
unreadable code, but no Clojure equivalents immed
Recently released Leiningen 2.0[-preview2] is now provided/supported on
travis-ci.org.
See our Clojure documentation guide to learn how to switch to it:

About item 1:
The first Lisp I used was runing on a DEC-10 with 256k 36 bits words of physical
memory (magnetic-core memory).
It had a structural editor. We would change nodes, add/remove child nodes, ...
Of course there were no WYSIWYG GUIs. The representation was all text
base showing a tree sh

This project is very fresh (only 2 weeks old) - I have just fixed
couple of last minute bugs.
I had to publish the JAR in Clojars since development process on
Heroku requires me to build demo application with lein on their
virtual host before it can be deployed.

Syntax is a list of arbitrary rules made by a language designers. It's
always possible to come up with a different (perhaps more compact,

Hard to see what your point is there. I didn't write let? because I
can't read code with parens. I've been writing Lisp since 1983,
