Hi! I have some, maybe controversial, questions...
A little bit of context: https://twitter.com/aphyr/status/621806683908542464 Why this is like a normal approach for managing third party contributions to clojure core? This kind of things the only discourages the contributions. Maybe I don't have more context about this concrete case, but seems is not a unique. And in general, I have the perception that the clojure development process is a little bit opaque... An other question: Why the great amount of clojure compiler code has no indentation style and bunch of commented code. It is indented like a freshman. Sorry, I don't want offend any one, but eyes hurt when reading the code compiler clojure (obviously I'm speaking about the look and feel, and no the quality of the code). Some examples: Indentation (or maybe no indentation): https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/36d665793b43f62cfd22354aced4c6892088abd6/src/jvm/clojure/lang/APersistentVector.java#L86 Bunch of commented code and also no indentation: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/AMapEntry.java#L60 If you compare some clojure compiler code with different code snippets from other languages, the indentation is clearly more cared: Kotlin: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/core/descriptors/src/org/jetbrains/kotlin/types/AbstractClassTypeConstructor.java#L44 Rust: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/libstd/io/buffered.rs#L165 Ceylon: https://github.com/ceylon/ceylon-compiler/blob/master/src/com/redhat/ceylon/compiler/java/codegen/AttributeDefinitionBuilder.java#L233 This is a random list of code snippets from different compilers with indentation that is more human friendly. I don't intend judge any one, but when a I learn Clojure compiler I expect something different. I expect something more carefully done. No body thinks the same thing that me? I think that have a sane, more open contribution policy, with clear and more cared code formatting, is not very complicated thing and is going to favor the clojure and its community.
