I agree, this is confusing for new users. Especially given the counter-intuitive (for a new person) way the REPL forces evaluation of everything, making everything seem to be eager when it's not. This aspect of Clojure is very different from most languages, including other Lisps, and the kinds of errors it can produce are often silent and hard to figure out. Some documentation loudly proclaiming the laziness of map and friends, the importance of dorun/doall/doseq, and the potential pitfalls of laziness would be helpful. Perhaps as an FAQ entry if nothing else? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
