I also like Clojure's syntax because it shows me the structure of my function more clearly than does the imperative code I've written in other languages.
My functions always turn out in either pyramids or triangles or walls. Each function's shape indicates its nature very visually, including potential flaws and ways it could be refactored. For example functions with a pyramid shape usually turn out to be trying to do both a cond-type branching and the work inside one/some of the branches, which is probably too much responsibility for one function. Short functions with a relative straight line going down the left edge is a sign of good health. Walls are signs that I'm getting imperative again and could either clean something up with -> or ->> or splitting out into more functions, or maybe all of these. I couldn't get this level of quality of visual feedback from my Ruby code. -Steven On Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 2:52 AM, Răzvan Rotaru <razvan.rot...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi, > > I'm curious about the general opinion on the Clojure syntax, whether > people actually like it or just use it because it provides macros.
