Re: Just found out about Elixirs function argument pattern matching...

FWIW before I came to Clojure I did a lot of Erlang and in the beginning I was at the exact same spot wanting to use pattern matching everywhere because it is so damn cool. Same goes for tagged literals. After a little while I realized that it is just not the way to do it in Clojure and

Re: Uberjar woes

I've had this problem too. I solved in a slightly different way. I had my main function in a clojure file that also defined a component. I moved my main function into a different file and that did the trick. I didn't need a :gen-class directive in each file that had a component. I didn't

>> Should be expressed as: >> (swap! :atom a, :function inc) One of Rich's talks on simplicity actually addresses that. He states that the above method (with keyword arguments) is actually simpler, but that this isn't exactly easy to program. And yes, I would take this same position about

add concurrency feature as language spec.

I have seen clojure now has different platform implementation.It would be good if its concurrency spec. must be a language style spec. like "go" ing Golang. Clojure-CLR,Clojure-Java,Clojurescript need a common concurrency spec. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Thanks for your benchmark. I will upgrade all the dependencies and release 0.2.0 We are using defun with instparse in a DSL implementation, the performance is acceptable, but the code is much more readable. 2015-09-06 4:33 GMT+08:00 Rob Lally : > Out of interest, I ran
