Okay, I took the challenge and produced a modified version of my earlier code where I removed what I considered to be redundant comments and did a little more renaming. You can see it at http://www.ociweb.com/mark/programming/ClojureSnake.html. Feedback is welcomed! I also started documenting some Clojure coding guidelines aimed at making code more readable at http://www.ociweb.com/mark/programming/ClojureCodingGuidelines.html and would appreciate feedback on these. I expect there will be cases where not following these is justified, which is why I refer to them as guidelines instead of rules. -- R.
