I think readable is in the eye of the beholder. I've only moderate experience with Clojure, but the following example from Open Dylan made me realize I really do prefer a concise representation over what is considered easier to read. http://opendylan.org/documentation/intro-dylan/why-dylan.html#functional-languages define method shoe-size (person :: <string>) if (person = "Larry") 14 else 11 end if end method;
Versus http://opendylan.org/documentation/intro-dylan/why-dylan.html#algebraic-infix-syntax (define (shoe-size person) (if (equal? person "Joe") 14 11)) Albeit my preference could be different over a different example. Silly humans 8) The thing is, if you just keep using Clojure or another Lisp for a little while, you'll probably get used to it and find it comfortable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
