I've considered this too, but I know Rich Hickey has plans for a dedicated I/O library. It's been on http://clojure.org/todo for a while. Details are sketchy, but presumably it would be functional, stream-based, and thread-safe. The I/O contrib libs are mostly convenience wrappers around the java.io classes and do not represent a well-thought-out API. (I know because I wrote some of them.) -SS -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
