No arguments with most of what you say of course. However I'm not sure what I used to know from "conventional" languages helps much with concepts like macros or dynamic vars or multimethods. In fact most of my time learning Lisp has been like "Holy ****! If only I had this tool/concept 4 years ago! I've been swindled!" ;) David --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
