I'm never sure what the etiquette is for adding to other people's files in contrib, but please don't hesitate to add this to repl-utils on my account. > I see the tradeoffs as: > > possible negative: > > - an extra name in the namespace Eh... nobody cares. :-) > positives: > > - the code is easier to understand > - the function version composes better: it's easier to call from > other code if that were desired.

Using gen-class you can have a namespace that is runnable from the Java command line by providing a main() method. This usually defers to a function named "-main" that expects string arguments. From my reading of your 'run', it looks like you're using a function named "main" that expects symbol, string, etc. args.
