Haha, I don't make anyone do *anything* on my team (I'm not exaggerating). My

either:

will work instead.

Here's a version that uses destructuring (but is otherwise the same) that
cleans it up a bit:
(defn combinations [[x & xs]]
(if xs
(for [frstitems x tlitm (combinations xs)]
(flatten (list frstitems tlitm)))
x))

Another thing to check out is Fogus' nice write up (and links) about these and
other "thrushy" combinators:

Thanks, we'll likely take a look at it then. If we patch it, we'll send

Hello All,
Looking at the docs for core.cache:
https://github.com/clojure/core.cache
There is mention that support for SoftCache (caching using soft references) is
not supported as the clache implementation was buggy and so not (yet) brought
over.
We are looking to add soft-reference based cac

Just that I really never spent much time as a Java programmer, so

Hi All,
I am currently considering an approach similar to the following for
periodically sending an update to an agent and I'm looking for
feedback on whether there is anything wrong with it, whether it's
idiomatic clojure (sorry I'm in the pro-that-term camp) and whether
there are other pure-cloj
