On the other hand, it doesn't take much to get used to reading source files from the bottom up. And I'd consider it a (minor) benefit that Clojure encourages this organization, as opposed to languages that don't care where in the file you put your functions. Not that I'd be against doing things another way; I just haven't been bothered much by Clojure's "backwards" orientation and the occasional forward-declaration. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
