Yeah, I realize there are problems with nesting and so in CL I generally use #|...|# only to comment out big blocks, and ; for everything else. I've worked in several editors that have comment-selected-text, but I don't see it in Eclipse/Counterclockwise, which is what I'm using now for Clojure -- does anyone know if it's there and I'm just missing it? Not that I think this is any kind of major issue, but as I said I do sometimes miss syntax-ignoring block comments (or comment-selected-text, which I agree is just as good and maybe better sometimes). -Lee -- Lee Spector, Professor of Computer Science School of Cognitive Science, Hampshire College 893 West Street, Amherst, MA 01002-3359 lspec...@hampshire.edu, http://hampshire.edu/lspector/ Phone: 413-559-5352, Fax: 413-559-5438 Check out Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines: http://www.springer.com/10710 - http://gpemjournal.blogspot.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
