Are you really sure you won't want to use 'p' to represent something like a probability, at some point? I suspect, the shorter your name, the more likely you are to have a naming clash. That, and you're likely to have some problems remembering what it's for. Clojure code (and lisp in general) tends to be rather small for what it does, anyway. So far, we seem to have avoided the emacs-style-long-hyphenated-sentence function names. If you're playing golf, do whatever, but for Clojure's core? I'd personally prefer 'comp' and 'partial', myself. -- Chris Riddoch -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
