> When I read code like (- 1 2), I tranform it into (1 - 2) in my head I used to do this when I was first learning a lisp, but now I read "+" as "sum" instead of "plus" and "-" as "subtract" instead of "minus". Similarly, if you see (< x y), you can say "x less than y", but what about (<= x y z)? Instead, I read that as "ascending". With "<=", it would be "strictly ascending". Choosing prefix-friendly pronunciations for non-alphanumeric functions helps you get out of the operator mind set and into the applicative mindset.
In the absence of a mental infix transform, (<! c) reads like redirecting from a file in your shell. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
