Guess-the-synonym -- fun for the entire family! But I looked not only for "accumulate" or similarly but when I didn't see it, for every single function whose documentation mentioned "seq", figuring that should cover everything taking a sequence as input. > I've certainly asked my fair share of noob- > questions, and folks in this group have been quite happy to oblige me. Yes; it seems the derision comes when you don't find something and then instead of asking after it here you actually implement it yourself. :) This is rather odd -- normally, self-help should be rewarded in preference to always bugging the forum for assistance, not punished. Sharing your efforts that might benefit others, likewise. > clojure.contrib isn't a part of clojure.core (otherwise it'd called > clojure.core right?), but it I think it's very well-worth downloading > and compiling.

Lack of a source release, at least in a form that you can just download from Firefox, unzip with Winzip, and compile with ant. 2. Likelihood of things changing/breaking if I use a pre-1.0 build. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
