		jb1991 on April 26, 2018 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How to write a spelling corrector (2016) I don't see any functions in that code that wouldn't have existed in Clojure 1.0. It's all pretty standard Clojure stuff, very basic 'for' constructs and generalized lazy sequences with 'range' and others. Which function were you thinking were explicitly added to the language that are in use here?

"Along the way, Clojure got subs(tring), slurp (a file), max-key and min-key..." at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/clojure/YDQdmAsUaFU

Thanks, that is definitely interesting. We have Norvig to thank for every-day Clojure functions.
