It's bizarre that you can think something is "the expected standard for the language" but also not worth pointing out. How are people supposed to learn it?
There are incompetent programmers that no effort can reach, sure, but there are also junior programmers who are just innocent and haven't yet learned all the implications of what they're doing. I think it's important to teach these people, whether re Ruby or C or Clojure or whatever. That people treat such teaching with disdain makes me think they are misled by their defensiveness. It's not an insult of Clojure to say that (as in any language) there is stuff worth warning people about.

This is not Clojure-specific, it's part of any dynamic eval tool. > It's not an insult of Clojure to say that (as in any language) there is stuff worth warning people about. This argument might hold some water if the presentation of the information was not couched in a different way. It is clearly not that. And you are clearly more concerned with being right than teaching people, from the words you are choosing to use.
