18:16 hiredman http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/83ad2eed5a68f108?hl=en 18:17 hiredman it amazes me how convoluted people can make things 18:17 brehaut hiredman: at least he recognises it 18:17 dnolen mattmitchell: word of advice, just do the simplest thing. OO brainwashes people into over-engineering, wasting time generalizing. Prolly cause OO code is painful to refactor, FP code less so. 18:18 hiredman brehaut: he parrots "eval is evil" but then does this whole crazy concat thing which has nothing to do with anything 18:18 brehaut oh sure, hes neck deep in crazy 18:18 mattmitchell dnolen: excellent thanks for the advice 18:18 hiredman '(Person. "Peter" 18) vs. (concat [(symbol "Person.")] ["Peter"] [18]) 18:20 hiredman I dunno why he just doesn't create a factory function 18:20 brehaut if he's a noob maybe he thinks he is supposed to mash a bunch of lists together and then do some metaprogramming ? 18:20 brehaut out of fear that anything else isnt lisp? 18:21 hiredman I don't know 18:21 hiredman it's just bleh 18:22 hiredman like, you want to build a record from names that resolve to values, but you want to delay the binding of the names to values till runtime 18:22 -!- bridgethillyer [~bridge...@adsl-162-133-208.rmo.bellsouth.net] has joined #clojure 18:22 hiredman anyway, I will stop raving [#clojure]
