Crazy! I re-wrote the (loop) to use (reduce) instead and now everything
works:
(defn loop-over-scores
[set-of-scores]
"2017-03-08 -- called from start.clj"
(reduce
;; 2017-04-01 -- we assume vector-with-path-score looks like this:
;; [[:positive :true 0.88 19 60 10 12 3 1 3 1 2 1] 1]
;; so we do a minor bit of destructuring
(fn [vector-of-maps-of-vector-key-and-score [vector-with-path score]]
(conj vector-of-maps-of-vector-key-and-score
(dire/supervise #'map-of-vector-path-and-true-false-scores
vector-with-path)))
[]
set-of-scores))
The StackOverflow error is gone.
Sad to say, I'm left with a feeling as if I know nothing about Clojure. I
don't know why (loop) gave me a StackOverflow error whereas (reduce) works
just fine. This is black magic to me, which, sad to say, is not a
comfortable feeling.
