Hello, I've just started to play a little bit with clojure to get a feel for the language. It seems to be quite interesting (and it's a relief to leave my clumsy IDE behind and use Emacs). Concerning immutable data: Is the following code ok or should (must) I use transients as variables for the loop?
(defn count-words [words] "Counts the occurrences of all words in the given string. Returns a map with the words as keys, their frequency as values" (loop [my-words (re-seq #"[a-zA-ZöäüÖÄÜß]+" words) word-map {}] (if (empty? my-words) word-map (recur (rest my-words) (merge-with + word-map {(first my-words) 1}))))) Regards and thank's to all who gave (us|me) yet another reason to use the JVM, Jan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
