Java has a lack of this top-down processing, and it sometimes causes problems because the order in which static initializers will execute is not generally predictable.
I don't have any problems with Clojure files being processed from the top down. I prefer to define my terms (simpler functions) before I use them (in more complex functions) anyway. It helps me organize my thoughts and my design, too, as I need to think first about what something will be built out of -- what are the basic data representations and the fundamental operations on these? If I think of more later I can always scroll up and add them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
