3) It would encourage people to not follow Clojure's conventions around argument positions for fns that deal with sequences/collections. That is a pretty important Nay and illustrates that --> decreases readability for people that have spent time with Clojure. It also points out why -> and ->> are not really about position anyway, it's about threading an expression. -> is to make Clojure read left-right instead of inside-out. ->> is to make Clojure read left-right when operating on sequences/collections. Both are far, far more common and useful then being able to fill arguments anywhere. David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
