Like I said, our expectations are colored by our experiences and we all have different experiences. Whatever decision is ultimately made, it wouldn't affect my decision to use Clojure or not overall, although it may incline me to use Clojure for *different* parts of a problem solution (I'm more of a mixed language solution guy than one size fits all anyway). -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
