Yeah... well, I do that on a daily basis working in C/C++ so just about anything is better than what I have going on ATM. Not all of us have the luxury of day jobs in Clojure. The embedded world is sorely lacking when it comes to levels of abstraction and the world is asking more and more from it. Not everything in the IoT is a phone with an expensive processor and lots of memory, well, unless you want to buy a $700 toaster *on contract*. After slogging mutation around for [self edit] years I'll do just about anything to get me some of that Clojure goodness, starting with a REPL! I really like Clojure and prefer it over Scheme, if nothing more than to get better data structures... kinda half the point of Lisp to begin with and a huge selling point for Clojure IMO. Aside - I'm bummed that when I was originally introduced to Lisp there were only car, cdr, etc. Really?! What a turn off. Went down the mutation rat hole and am just now coming out... register access acronyms for function names!?!? What *genius* thought up that bright idea? ;-) Alan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
