Yep, we are talking about someone who was born in the 1880s. Though as a counterexample in the modern age, there is a well-known Spanish economist at Columbia named Xavier Sala i Martin.

Jose Ortega y Gasset was a relative of mine, and I asked this as a kid. What I was told (by my grandmother, his niece) is that it is sometimes done when there's a weirdness in the combination of the two last names that would make it ambiguous, such as someone who has a compound first name like Jose-Maria that makes it harder to tell where a first name/last name breaks, or in this case, where it results in a repeated sound (ga-ga) that feels weird to say. But I have not found any corroboration of this online.

Oh yes, there's a few differences. For example, Clojure also has a radix notation for integers (as in 16rFF = 255) that doesn't seem to be a part of EDN. I had assumed that Clojure would cast the deciding vote in these sorts of things, but now that I think about it, maybe not.

Actually, .5 does not parse as a number in Clojure, and does parse as a symbol.

  user> .5
  CompilerException java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resolve symbol: .5 in this context, compiling:(NO_SOURCE_PATH:1) 
  user> (type '.5)
  clojure.lang.Symbol

I'm trying to think of what anti-macros Clojure talk by a "key presenter" he might be referring to. I'm only familiar with the talks from Clojure/conj, so the only one that I can think of is Christophe Grand's (not= DSLs macros) talk from 2010[1]. If so, I think his summary mischaracterizes the content of that talk, but it could be another talk he's thinking of.

OK, that's cool. I really was asking, you would be within the license rights. I try to keep all my libraries maintained, but sometimes don't have cause to work on some things for a while and things escape my notice.

Though as a footnote, there is no dependency on Clojure Hadoop, they work together without a dependency. I'd take a pull request if the vars that are being moved from defvar- to def have ^{:private true} added to their metadata.

Were you planning to touch base with me about having forked my Clojure-HBase library, making changes, and adding novel new version numbers? First I've heard of this.

Actually, he did post his thoughts before the launch: http://daringfireball.net/2011/09/teardrop_skepticism
