While we're at it, let's not forget the fourth piece of the puzzle: swap!, alter, send, and friends, which work best if functions put the data first and parameters after. If the parameters come first, all of them need to be wrapped: instead of (send agent foo param1 param2), say, you need (send agent #(foo param1 param2 %)). Yuck! (Irony: -> is also like swap!, alter, and their friends in this regard.) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
