> support for better-cond Awesome! can't wait to try that.
better-cond looks useful, I always liked the :when and :let forms in doseq and for
i was holding off on the adoption of better-cond for years, because i felt, that the clarity and brevity gain doesn't worth the trade-off of having formatting and/or symbol resolution issues during editing. sounds a bit unreasonable, when it's written down, but that's one less thing which confuses ppl with limited clojure experience. i might revisit better-cond now, though we are looking into the emacs tooling, so i would expect support from both ecosystem for anything we are adopting. also, not sure how AI generated code would understand it, hence its value/impact is questionable.
