Hi,

If I understand your pb correctly, and form what I have seen in the Scala
world, there is maybe a simpler way to do it :


(defn process-args [args fnkeys fndefault]
  (let [[positional-args named-args]  (split-with (complement keyword?)
args)
          named-args (into {} (map vec (partition 2 named-args)))]
       (merge fndefault (zipmap fnkeys positional-args) named-args)))

(defn f [& args]
   (process-args args [:a :b :c] {:a 1 :c 2}))

(f "40" "abc" :b "abc2" :bb "ahoy")
;=> {:bb "ahoy", :b "abc2", :a "40", :c 2}
