If a missing key signifies an error, then yes, it should probably throw an exception. It seems reading your code wrongly reminded me of how in Python, it is idiomatic to catch KeyError if a key isn't present, which can lead to unneccessarily nested and hard-to-read logic. (Of course, there's also .get() in Python, with an identical signature to Clojure's get) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
