How To Improve Clojures Error Messages

Question

I played a little with Clojure and am still impressed, but one thing I keep working on is the weirder error messages from Clojure. This occurs in two forms: Java errors, such as null-pointer exceptions, and Clojure syntax errors, such as missing pairs of parentheses. I was wondering if anyone knows how to improve error messages?

This is partly, of course, from learning a new language, but improving error messages will never hurt :)

Answer 1

Well, the compiler and other materials are developed by a fairly small group of people led by Rich Hickey, and if you are a competent programmer, then you can assume that you can contribute to the development of the compiler.

Clojure headquarters is located at: http://clojure.org

Here you can get information and documentation and access the git source code and repository ...

... and there’s a Google group for him: http://groups.google.com/group/clojure?pli=1

Take a look and offer your help if you dare. Good luck and strength for you!
