> The big thing that I miss in clojure are the data structures, and the ease of use of those data structures. Specifically vectors and maps. These exist all over the place, but no where (in my experience) are they as pain-free as clojure.

I'm not sure I understand. Why do you miss them when you have them in Clojure? Is it a typo and you meant to say LFE?

By the way one of my biggest productivity boost for me is the hot code swap which works in Clojure seamlessly. In java you can't do this wihtout JRebel for example. What is the case with LFE?

I think (s)he meant that they are a feature in clojure that is missed in LFE. The sentence construction is a bit off, but I read it as "[I miss](in LFE)[in clojure are the data structures]". That is, the "in clojure" is the data structures, not where it is missed.

But its more likely to be a typo :-)

That's what I thought but I wanted to make sure... :)

Erlang supports hot code swapping, so I am guessing that LFE would as well.
