Question on mandatory arguments for - and - macros
Hi, I am curious about the rationale for the mandatory arguments for - and - macros. user= (doc -) - clojure.core/- ([x] [x form] [x form more]) user= (doc -) - clojure.core/- ([x form] [x form more]) For - a form is optional, but for - it is not. Can anybody help me understand why is there a difference? Shantanu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.
