Some people come with lots of baggage from other languages they like. That's why various complaints and proposals are so superficial and wacky, like that dude with the crazy closing parens he picked up from newLisp, it was hilarious. Wadler had better things to say about the syntax and semantics of Lisp. http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/dat/miranda/wadler87.pdf -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
