I'm currently reading Practical Clojure <http://www.apress.com/9781430272311> by VanderHart and Sierra, and am on the section about state management.
I'm curious why Clojure chose to name functions operating on refs and atoms so differently. As I understand it, swap! -> atoms, alter -> refs reset! -> atoms, ref-set -> refs Why "swap!" and "reset!", instead of "atom-alter" and "atom-set"? The analogous functions names would make remembering which is which easier. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
