I don't know whether it's in contrib already but I'd very much appreciate a few macros lifting the burden of Java's io-lib with Reader, BufferedReader, File, PushbackReader, WhateverReader and ...Writers. Coming from the Lisp world this feels rather ugly to my fingers. Kind regards, Stefan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
