Optimizing too much for readability, can't be well worth doing, I think.
It's a contradiction in terms. Watching out for changes that make the
code shorter instead of more readable seems like useful advice and maybe
a sign that I am "optimizing" too much. I'm pretty sure I could figure
out a wa
Well said Niels.
As far as performance optimization. Imo that's premature until you profile.

I can imagine this behavior. Unlike premature performance optimization,
readability / terseness are well worth optimizing for when learning
Clojure, as long as you value readability over terseness to keep well away
from code golf territory.
With Clojure, I always have the idea that things coul
Kendall,
Refactoring is valuable especially when starting out, so that you can learn
how to represent patterns well in Clojure, imo.

I might have come off as obnoxious. So, sorry about that.
Now that I think about it some more, the question probably doesn't have
a procedure to suggest as an answer. It's in the same class as like "how
do I start" or "how can I stop asking so many questions".

I read your post three times and now I need to get a couple of fuses

The question in the second paragraph depends on the belief that someone
could engage in pointless refactoring.
There is an implied assertion that clojure's design provides more
opportunities for someone to engage in pointless refactoring.
Disproving that someone could engage in pointless acti
Can you give a concrete example?

The premise is that it is rearranging that is not worth the effort.
I guess I will try estimating how long I would spend on a similar task
using something I am more familiar with and then trying to keep within
some proportion of that effort.

What kind of optimal do you compulsively rearrange for? Performance?
Readability? Amusing terseness?

With clojure in particular, I am having trouble not rearranging my code
to be what I think is more optimal in ways that seem probably not
practical. I've noticed myself doing that when I'm newish to languages
and apis. But, I go bonkers with clojure.
Do you have any thoughts about how to avoid
