A community coding style guide for the Clojure programming language
As far as I know, this shouldn't be allowed: ``` clojure (def my-collection [ x y]) ``` but there is not a specific rule anywhere that addresses this style.
Hello. Is it recommended to destructure arguments in function definition or in let inside the function? The first approach affects readability though shortens the function. Any thoughts about this? E.g....
Sometimes it useful to comment out multiple lines. That can be done with the comment macro: ``` (comment (some-code-1) (some-code-2) (some-code-3)) ``` Maybe it's worth to mention that in style...
