Hmmm perhaps I'm guilty of this. But I find code much more readable when it isn't full of aliases and I assume many other readers do too. Aliases IMHO add noise that distracts from the logic that you are trying to express. Personally, it has never particularly bothered me which namespace a function is from while reading a blog post. I might need to know at some point in the future, but by then I'll actually be coding in an editor or a REPL, and then my editor/REPL will tell me. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
