I still hate the square brackets and the slashes.
Sorry, hate is such a strong word.
I mean that I still find the language's typographic irregularities hopelessly distracting to the point where I won't touch it with a bargepole.
They compare to perl one liners more than they do to Lisp one-liners due to their greater syntactic cruft.
- pivo 14y agoI initially disliked the square brakets as well, but I got over it quickly because of the utter happiness I get from writing Clojure code in general. FYI, the square brackets are not an arbitrary deviation from lisp syntax. Square brackets are Clojure's vector syntax, the use of square brackets in function and macro definitions reflects the fact that they are actually vectors. Not sure what you meant with your objection to slashes though.
