Putting them on separate lines put the focus on the wrong element of the code. You do not want to be focusing on the parentheses, you want to be focusing on the structure of the code. The idiomatic lisp formatting style uses indentation to reveal the large scale structure of the code, and so the parentheses can be neatly tucked away. With a little experience, the parentheses will start to fade from view.
Additionally, putting them on separate lines waste vertical space, and you should be using an editor that supports paren matching so you don't need to count them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
