Your intuition that this can be done through recursion or a loop is correct (the latter being a more specialised version of the former). When dealing with recursion, it often helps to consider the base case, i.e. where the recursion stops. Typically this is when you get to zero or one elements.

Parameter order for APIs

2014-04-30 Thread Colin Fleming
Hi everyone, After the very interesting keyword argument debate, I have another question about API design. Specifically I'm interested in suggestions about parameter order. The new API guidelines, which have changed very recently to favour maps over keyword args, also changed to include a

Hi, Colin. I don't use 'partial' that much either, since anonymous functions are so easy to create. A fn also has the advantage (to my mind) of making it clear what arity the old and new fns have. 'Partial' turns a multi-arity fn into another multi-arity fn, which I personally think is very

Oh, right. (f m) instead of (apply f [m]). Duh. On Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 11:15 PM, Colin Fleming colin.mailingl...@gmail.com wrote: I think it would because in that case you'd just pass your arg map straight through rather than having to reconstruct it. So if you weren't passed :y in g (in

clojure code to java

2014-04-30 Thread Julio Berina
I've been programming a bit in Clojure, and in my opinion it's like making Java programs without typing long Java because of it running on the JVM. However, I wanna be able to convert my Clojure code to Java code. I know Leiningen can do that, but I am really clueless at this point, and I

At least a few people consider it a bug, and two of them created a ticket, the first of which was declined as not a bug. That is some evidence that it is considered not a bug: http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1316 http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-207 Andy On Wed, Apr 30,

Leiningen can convert Clojure source code to Java .class files (compiled Java byte code, not Java source code), with the help of the Clojure compiler. I don't know of a way Leiningen can convert that to Java source code, unless there is some feature of Leiningen I haven't learned about yet, or

You could also check https://github.com/galdolber/clojure-objc, which uses a modified Clojure compiler to output Java source instead of bytecode. It's been subsequently modified to work with ObjC, I'm not sure whether that affects its ability to execute the program as Java or not. On 1 May 2014
