I don't know what "core.contrib.strutils2" is, but it sounds like "old contrib" pre-clojure-1.3. See http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Where+Did+Clojure.Contrib+Go
The type-hints-before-the-argument-vector syntax was introduced in Clojure 1.3 along with primitive type hints, so I would consider it the more current style. The older type-hint-before-the-symbol syntax is still supported, and probably won't go away any time soon. -S On Monday, June 17, 2013 7:59:47 AM UTC-4, Jim foo.bar wrote: > > Hi all, > > It seems to me that return type-hints can go either right after "defn", > or after the doc-string.
