Gosling on Clojure
Hi, anybody seen this already? http://www.basementcoders.com/transcripts/James_Gosling_Transcript.html (Transcript from http://basementcoders.com/?p=721) When being asked about other languages he says: Clojure. Clojure's got a lot of coolness about it but it's not for everyone. Kind regards, Stefan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

How to write this in Clojure? Example from PAIP
Hallo all, I'm started working on PAIP and doing the examples in Clojure. I understand what this function does (i think) now but I'm not sure how to write it in Clojure since I have no CL background. (defun find-all (item sequence rest keyword-args key (test #'eql) test-not allow-other-keys) Find all those elements of sequence that match item, according to the keywords. Doesn't alter sequence. (if test-not (apply #'remove item sequence :test-not (complement test-not) keyword-args) (apply #'remove item sequence :test (complement test) keyword-args))) So I just wanted to drop it in here. Can you make a idiomatic clojure version? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Doesn't alter sequence. (if test-not (apply #'remove item sequence :test-not (complement test-not) keyword-args) (apply #'remove item sequence :test (complement test) keyword-args))) Both Clojure and Common Lisp have a function to remove a value from a sequence. However, the CL version supports quite a few more options, which accounts for the complexity of this FIND-ALL function. The function 'remove' in both languages obviously has to take an item to look for and a sequence to search. But the CL version also accepts various keyword arguments that tailor how it behaves. There is a default test which determines whether the item matches a given element, but another test can be specified by the :test keyword. This allows for various flavors of equality when matching. There is also a :test-not keyword which works in the opposite sense. You can see both of those keywords above. The CL version also accepts other keywords such as :start, :end, :from-end, :count, and :key. In the section after the lambda-list keyword key above you can see that FIND-ALL also accepts :test and :test-not keywords, with a default :test of the function EQL. The lambda-list keyword allow-other-keys is used to show that FIND-ALL will also accept the other REMOVE keywords and pass them along. Before the key section, however, there is the rest section. What actually happens is that every argument passed to FIND-ALL, besides the first two required arguments, is captured as a list in the variable KEYWORD-ARGS. CL also processes the :test and :test-not keyword arguments separately, but they and their keywords are also bundled up in KEYWORD-ARGS. This makes it easy to pass everything along to REMOVE via the APPLY form. Here is a Clojure implementation that is pretty true to the spirit of the CL version. All of the optional arguments are captured in the list 'keyword-args', but we also break out the keywords into a map: (defn find-all [item coll keyword-args] (let [keywords (apply hash-map keyword-args)] (if (:test-not keywords) (remove (fn [elt] ((:test-not keywords) item elt)) coll) (remove (fn [elt] (not ((:test keywords) item elt))) coll Since we want to find things that match our criterion we reverse the sense of the :test and remove things that fail our criterion. But we have to do the opposite with the :test-not case here since Clojure's 'remove' doesn't understand that :test-not is the opposite of :test. Notice also that we can call 'remove' directly (without 'apply') since we aren't passing in a list of keywords. (find-all 1 '(1 2 3 2 1) :test =) = (1 1) (find-all 1 '(1 2 3 2 1) :test not=) = (2 3 2) (find-all 1 '(1 2 3 2 1) :test-not =) = (2 3 2) Have all good days, David Sletten -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

prn-str and lists
Hello,
I have some questions about how to use the prn functions.
From the documentation of the prn function:
[...] By default, pr and prn print in a way that objects can be read
by the reader [...]
In this case, why does the prn-str function does not quote sequences?
For instance (pr-str '(+ 1 2)) returns (+ 1 2), which can not be
read back since (eval (read-string (pr-str '(+ 1 2 returns 3!
There is the *print-dup* function but it does not produce a string
readable by an (advanced) user:
(binding [*print-dup* true]
(pr-str '(+ 1 2)))
returns ^#=(clojure.lang.PersistentArrayMap/create {:line 1}) (+ 1
2)
where I just would like to display to the user '(+ 1 2)
So how can one print and read back quoted s-expressions so that a user
can modify them?
I have implemented a pr-str-data function:
(defn- pr-str-data [data]
(if (seq? data)
(str ' (pr-str data))
(pr-str data)))
but there should be a better way.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: prn-str and lists
(pr-str '(+ 1 2)) :
pr-str is not given code-as-data , because it's not a macro. pr-str is given
the result of first evaluating its arg, that is '(+ 1 2). And evaluating '(+
1 2) results in the list (+ 1 2).
So pr-str is right, your assumptions were wrong.
To achieve your goal, just use (pr-str ''(+ 1 2)).

That's really nice Meikel. I was trying to remember how to do the new keywords,
but I couldn't find an example. You have the default value for :test in there
too. Interesting idea to replace 'remove not' with 'filter'.

dj updates
Hello all, I made an update to dj, for those who care. The new branch generaldeps supports proper SNAPSHOT behavior and has been reworked to support generically different types of dependencies. Accessible at git://github.com/bmillare/dj.git I've also compiled a more concise feature list. # Feature list * Practically no dependencies, only needs clojure and java, simplifying deployment of dj on to many systems * Supports source dependencies, you can have your project depend on other projects you are developing. * Everything is installed locally to a directory, no messing up existing configuration files and repositories. If you want, you can have multiple dj distributions on the same computer. This should simplfy deploying dj onto different systems. * Classpath is computed during runtime. No forking of the jvm is required. No copying or symlinking of jar files. * Supports native dependencies * Extracts dependency information from project.clj file just as leiningen and cake do * Easy to extend adding new dependency types or new tasks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Actually what I'm trying to do is adjust ring.middleware.reload to only reload source files if they've changed (otherwise I run into problems with session management), so if anyone knows of utilities that already do that, or utilities to help me to determine when a file changes that would be pretty useful too.

If you're using Emacs/SLIME, you could use swank-clojure's classpath browsing
information. The var available-classes in namespace swank.util.class-browse
holds clojure namespaces and java classes on the classpath as a list of maps.
For example to see where the clojure.set namespace comes from:
user (clojure.pprint/pprint
(filter #(= (:name %) clojure.set)
swank.util.class-browse/available-classes))
({:loc /home/jeff/.clojure/clojure-1.3.0-alpha1.jar,
:file clojure/set__init.class,
:name clojure.set})
The same applies to java classes:
user (clojure.pprint/pprint
(filter #(= (:name %) java.net.Socket)
swank.util.class-browse/available-classes))
({:loc /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rt.jar,
:file java/net/Socket.class,
:name java.net.Socket})
The map keys are as follows:
:name Java class or Clojure namespace name
:loc Classpath entry (directory or jar) on which the class is located
:file Path of the class file, relative to :loc
Also see: (doc swank.util.class-browse)
Hope this helps!

Start with an empty vector, say v. conj your strings to the vector at the various points in your code, so at the end v will be something like [this is a string] Then, when you're done, apply str to the vector, i.e., (apply str v) to get thisisastring str uses a string builder behind the scenes, so it's efficient this way. If you keep applying str at each point in your code, it won't be.

Would it be slightly more efficient to use one StringBuilder or not worth the bother. I'm trying to think what your code would look like that you'd have multiple 'lines' computing pieces that you are assembling into a string section at a time...? If you're accumulating things that you want to turn into a string later, you could always put the pieces into a vector and then do: (apply str vector-of-pieces) -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive. -- Margaret Atwood -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

I recently wrote a program that generates complex java enums (as source)
from input data recorded in clojure syntax (by a VBA macro running in excel
...).
As java is syntactically correct, I quickly found that it was smart of break
up the algorithm into various functions that called each other.
A few examples (sketeched out from memory):
(defn enum-item-init [name args]
[name ( (interpose , (map enum-format-arg)) )])
(defn enum-items [item-map]
[(interpose , (map (fn [[name args]] (enum-item-init name args))
item-map)) ;])
(defn enum-class [name item-map]
[public enum name {\n (enum-items item-map) \n}\n])
I also used Clojure's multi-line string literals to good effect, though
that's now shown here.
So, really I'd invented a sort of poor-man's templating language within
Clojure.
So, I have each function return a sequence of strings. Some return vectors,
some return lazy sequences resulting from list comprehensions (for [...]
...). In the end, the top-level function returns a sort of seq of seq of seq
... of strings. So, a tree of strings really.
This worked well for me as a way of decomposing my program. Here's the
punch-line:
(apply str (flatten (enum-class name item-map)))

Evaling forms that require
The following form fails in Clojure 1.0, but was fixed in 1.1: (eval '(do (require 'clojure.inspector) clojure.inspector/inspect)) It used to fail because it tried to compile the whole quoted form, but it couldn't compile the inspect reference because the require hadn't been run yet. I think it's great that it works in 1.1, but I'm boggled as to how it works. Does the compiler split apart certain forms like do and compile/run each form separately? It seems like it wouldn't be possible to make this work without multiple passes, but I'm curious how it's done. -Phil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.
