Alan covered the biggest problem succinctly: it pollutes the language core to provide convenience APIs that are combinatorial in nature. I don't really think the people that want def- need it in the language core. They just want to know where to get it, and maybe automatically include it in their own projects. So make a community-centralized, maven-ready, CI-friendly place to put such things. In fact: such a place already exists: https://github.com/clojure/core.incubator. Add a slew of custom def forms to incubator.clj and party on. Stu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
