I'm puzzled by the complexity of the solutions proposed. (Although I like Luc's, since my computer doesn't have an auto-rotate function.) I don't see this as a big deal at all. I just put a big declare statement at the top of the file. More specifically, when initially coding related functions, I'll put the dependent ones below the ones they call. After that chunk of code is done, I might move the higher-level functions up in the file. Then I add the new functions to the declare statement by hand, or I periodically do something like: grep defn mysourcefile.clj >> mysourcefile.clj (Be careful to use two ">"s!) and then I edit the junk at the end of the file into a declare statement at the top of the file. And maybe if f I were ... lazier, I'd code a script that would update the declare in one pass. That works for defn and defn-, and you might want to shorten the search term to 'def'. It's more difficult if you use Clojure protocols. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
