What I've learned from Salty

I spent the weekend hacking at my Salty library for Clojure. Salty is a thin wrapper around the Selenium WebDriver framework, and it allows you to programmatically control a web browser like Firefox, as I've mentioned before. It turns out there is already a Clojure lib for WebDriver---clj-webdriver---that is full-featured, easy to use, and very mature. For that reason, I'm probably not going to invest too much more effort in Salty. But that's fine: I mostly wanted to try this as a learning exercise, and clj-webdriver makes it easier for me to check my homework. Here's a few notes on what I think I got right and what I think I got wrong.

Re-formatting variable names

(Series: From PHP to Clojure)

Here's a simple problem: as part of my Salty lib, I want a function that will take camel-case variable names, as used by Java, and convert them to the dash format that's idiomatic in Clojure. In other words, I want a function that will take the string "someVariableName" (camel case)and return "some-variable-name" (with dashes).
