I have a stupid idea as well (related to reader macros). Is there any way we can get the reader to not have problems with "#!/usr/bin/clojure" as the first line?
This would allow simple and standard use of Clojure in a script file. Or perhaps a solution (other than mucking with the reader) is to have clojure.lang.Script ignore the first line if it is the shebang? I mean this is cool (in a really geeky way) #^:shebang '[ exec java -cp "$HOME/src/clj/clojure/clojure.jar" clojure.lang.Script "$0" -- "$@" ] But its not standard, nor is it simple to remember, and if you have a bin script that does stuff like read a Clojure rc file, or set the classpath, or something you either lose that functionality, or you have to basically try to duplicate the bin script at the top of every clojure script. Additionally, if you want to hard code the path for security like so #^:shebang '[ exec /usr/bin/java -cp "$HOME/src/clj/clojure/clojure.jar" clojure.lang.Script "$0" -- "$@" ] Clojure has issues with it. Low priority, but still useful.
