special forms and let binding
Hi! For example, it's possible to do things like: (def do println) ((var do) example) And it works correct. But I don't understand how to get the same behavior in let bindings. I mean (let [do println] ..) what can I write to get the same results? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: idiomatic question about reader macro
Also I can try to implement them by myself. I have some ideas how to do this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: idiomatic question about reader macro
hmm...interesting view. Now I don't have really expressive examples of using reader macro. Also it seems that I find another way to achieve the functionality that I need. So all thanks for discussion. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: idiomatic question about reader macro
Well, clojure provides a variety of reader macro. In fact I don't think that I would need different ones, but I would like to have them available, simply because I like concise, purpose-built languages. Besides I don't think that user created reader macro would damage because there is practically no need to use them in case of currently-existant macro. As I write, this is only idiomatic question for me. I need them only as a possibility that make the language more concise and maybe one day I will really need them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: idiomatic question about reader macro
2 ataggart Ok. I don't explain coorect why I want to have build-in ability to create reader macro. In my study and job I very often use different spesific data structures. It's very useful to have reader macro to work with them, because it makes my code easilier to perception: work with data structures differs from other code. 2 Timothy Pratley Yes I've read this artivle before, but I want to create reader macro with build-in language tools. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

idiomatic question about reader macro
Hi, I'm a clojure newbie, with a background in Common Lisp (and functional languages such as haskell and erlang). For me Lisp is a very powerful tool that gives me flexibility that I need. Sometimes coding with CL I define reader macros and they perfect suit for those situations. After I take a look on Clojure. It's a very expressive, elegant language, but user-defined reader macro are prohibited. I've read all discussions about this. I realize that using user- defined reader macro can be evil, but I think there is no point to restrict them. I suppose that using them in the right way can make my code more expressive and easy to read, though it's not the tool for every day use and you should think a lot before using it. But I think that the programmer should choose tools to solve the task. So I think it's wrong not to allow user create reader macro. This is my opinion. Am I wrong? Or there are another reasons not to use user-defined reader macro? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.
