I'm glad this issue caught my eye. I disagree with this change as well, and
I hope it will be reconsidered (see alternative solution below).
I strongly agree with what is already said on the JIRA page by Joseph
Smith. What syntaxes will we support? Do we add the latest and greatest
from a few

Except that's not valid JSON, so it's still not a simple cut and paste
solution. I personally think that confusing a colon with whitespace
under any circumstances is an unnecessary confusion leading to
unnecessary errors.

This seems like a strange special case.
What percentage of users need to paste JSON into the REPL?
Of those users, what percentage of the time do they need to do this?

This issue could be avoided by only treating a colon as whitespace when
followed by a comma. As easy cut-paste of json seems to be the key
motivation here, the commas are going to be there anyway: valid {"v":,
1234} vs syntax error {a-key: should-be-a-keyword}.

You received this message bec
for these cases wouldn't be simpler to paste the map in a string and to create
a function that could parse such a json-compatible map into a clojure map ?

Well, that would be sufficient if we had HEREDOCs like Alex asked for,
but surrounding some JSON with ""s will usually break.

Even if they did, it's pretty easy to surround the paste with (read-
json "... ").

For what it's worth, I think colon's as whitespace in maps adds confusion,
without, imo adding a ton of power or readability. In terms of power, it
gives you the ability to paste JSON into a Clojure REPL; I wonder how often
that use case comes up? In terms of readability, any benefit it gives you

JSON as readable Clojure was discussed and shot down a while back, albeit
with a weirder implementation:
http://groups.google.com/group/clojure-dev/browse_thread/thread/5b066af1224efe8e/9ae78e878f873058The
idea of colons having special treatment in the context of maps is
