Well, of course *I* know this. But I guess a lot of people mostly just keep a browser tab parked at http://clojure.github.com/clojure/clojure.core-api.html and occasionally go to it and hit ctrl+F or F3 or whatever the usual search hotkey is in Windoze apps, with results similar to using find-doc except without cluttering their REPL history or backscroll or getting scrolled out of view by using the REPL to try things. How else do you propose to explain the observation that "if it isn't in clojure.core, it tends to be underused"? :) -- Protege: What is this seething mass of parentheses?! Master: Your father's Lisp REPL. This is the language of a true hacker. Not as clumsy or random as C++; a language for a more civilized age. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
