I've just realised I've made a mistake. The error message is not complaining that there is a parenthesis missing; it is complaining that an ending parenthesis has no matching start parenthesis. So this is an technically accurate error message, but perhaps not the most intuitive, as a user is more likely to miss off an ending bracket than a starting one. A better error message might be: => java.lang.Exception: Missing delimiter: ] - James --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
