I'd agree with this.
"Do you like" is also a relative thing, I think. I mean, compared to
what? Java? Or common lisp.
The thing that I don't like, is a common documentation markup for
refering to other functions, and params.
So, compare:
clojure.core/cons
([x seq])
Returns a new seq where x is the first element and seq is
the rest.
to this....
cons is a built-in function in `C source code'.
(cons CAR CDR)
Create a new cons, give it CAR and CDR as components, and return it.
The upper case stuff is a bit shouty, but I like the fact that you can
distinguish the "CAR" as a parameter name typographically, which you
can't with "x" in clojure. Likewise, here:
clojure.core/defmacro
([name doc-string? attr-map? [params*] body] [name doc-string? attr-map?
([params*] body) + attr-map?])
Macro
Like defn, but the resulting function name is declared as a
macro and will be used as a macro by the compiler when it is
call
It's not obvious that "defn" is a function name.
Does this mean I like or dislike clojure syntax?
