If you don’t want to accidentally drop any elements, use partition-all (in Clojure 1.2) instead of partition.

(partition-all 3 (range 7)) ==> ((0 1 2) (3 4 5) (6))

Also, in Clojure 1.2, partition can take additional args to specify the step and pad so this will work:

(partition 3 3 nil (range 7)) ==> ((0 1 2) (3 4 5) (6))

…treating defrecord instances like a normal map? Be careful and try (crow :nom) instead of (:nom crow) in Clojure 1.2.1-RC1.

I am not sure if there is infrastructure available to record the course. Nevertheless, we will try.

@ghoseb

Are you planning to record this course.

There is a huge benefit if you do

The instructions have changed now. Check the comment above by Sidhant. Also, read this – http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/clojure/Getting_Started_with_Emacs

Did all, but “M-x clojure-install” didn’t work. (“No match”, i.e. this function did not exist.)

System: fairly recent stable release of Linux Mint.
Emacs: 23.1.50.1

Hi, when is Clojure 1.2 due for release? And what other new features will it have?
