Yeah I was just reading that this weekend actually. To be clear, I'm not knocking the verb-oriented approach. I guess I just think it's interesting that even in dynamically typed languages or heavily type-inferred languages like Haskell you still winding up using type prefixes to some extent. For example, my Ocaml and Haskell experience is very limited but I understand that record field accessors in both languages share a common namespace, so in practice you tend to give them type prefixes to prevent clashes. And I guess we do the same thing in Clojure. We have a repeat function in core and in the contrib.string module so it's good practice to qualify the import of contrib.string and use string/repeat. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
