I guess there's a slim chance because it's probably not important but static analyzer tools like clj-kondo think that if-let as well as if-some accepts a varargs amount of arguments because that's how it's defined: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/b8132f92f3c3862aa6cdd8a72e4e74802a63f673/src/clj/clojure/core.clj#L1853 But the core spec for it throws, so this case isn't probably reachable in newer versions of clojure. Perhaps one could think of removing that varargs argument, but I realize that core is extremely careful not to break anyone who might rely on this.

Of course clj-kondo can special-case this, no problem, just wanted to mention it.

don't think we're going to change that

fair enough

we'll save that for Clojure 2 :)

I can see Twitter now: Alex Miller confirms plans for Clojure 2!!!

:head-in-hands:

Will there be a party? Do I need to iron my pyjamas?

It was "Happy Clojure Day!" over the weekend, as I recall?

(yeah, October 16th is Clojure's "birthday")

isn't that every day?

I'm thinking back to the 10th birthday cake at one of the conferences

Every day in Clojure is a party for sure.
