I'm using a clojure source file as a database, by loading the file modifying it then saving it back to the filesystem. I'm trying to keep things simple.
It would be useful to pretty print it so I could inspect it and make small changes, if necessary. It seems like a rather simple problem, and I only need some line breaks or something simple, some text editors have a problem with 1,000's of characters on one line. The other problem is that if there is an error loading the database Clojure says there's an error on line 1, which is the only line. I'll just code up something simple. Starting from some Scheme or CL code is a good idea. I'll just adapt it to support literal maps, vectors, and such.
