But the more functional the programmer the less likely they are to need temporary variables, so the count 1 should be more frequent! <g> In my CL experience it comes up often enough that I have a policy where the let will be at the toplevel in a function: I use &aux (to repeat, a CL hack):
(def my-fun (x y z &aux (temp (other-fun x y)))
...etc...)
Why? Yes I have a twenty-inch flat panel but I am still an almost obsessive indentation miser, and it just kills me to add a level of parens and indentation just to get one lousy temp variable. :)
