Program design
Dear Friends, I am thinking about porting my existing program to clojure. Is there any way of designing equivalents to classes with simple inheritance? For e.g. if I have base class fruit and derived classes apple and orange. The OOP design gives me a possibility to handle those object in the same way.

I think the easiest way to port OO code would be to use Clojure's multimethods, dispatching on the type of the first argument. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: Simple question about name-spaces
Hi Nicolas, I've done a bit of manipulation of namespaces for dynamic loading and executing of functions in a web app context which might give you some ideas... Here ns-nm and ipath have been extracted from a url. Then... (let [ . ipath (if (or (nil? ipath) (= ipath )) root ipath) ipath (if (.startsWith ipath /) (.substring ipath 1) ipath) ns-sym (symbol ns-nm) found-ns (find-ns ns-sym) found-ns (if (nil? found-ns) (let [n (create-ns ns-sym)] (require ns-sym) n) found-ns) _ (when (nil? found-ns) (throw (IllegalArgumentException. (str Namespace not found for: ns-sym req-fn (get (ns-publics ns-sym) (symbol ipath)) ] (req-fn ...

Today's clojure trick question
Consider the following bit of code: (let [ x (new java.lang.Boolean false) ] (if x trouble ok)) As you might guess from the fact that I'm calling it's a trick question, the above code returns trouble, not ok. From experimentation, it looks like clojure's if takes the second branch if the value is nil or referentially equal to java.lang.Boolean/FALSE. If you have a boolean object which is not referentially equal to Boolean/FALSE, but still holds the value false, this is treated as true by Clojure. The problem is, I'm not 100% sure if this is a bug or not. The problem is nil-punning. The if statement can't rely on the test expression evaluating to a boolean. Which means to make this work correctly, if statements would have to do an instanceof test (to see if the object was a Boolean), then a cast and a call to .booleanValue to get the boolean value. Which is way more expensive than a quick nil test and referential equality test. This is, however, more than a little bit surprising and depressing. Somewhere, in my 10K lines of clojure code, boolean values are getting boxed in exactly that way. I've fixed the current problem (dropping in a call to .booleanValue in the test), but having if statements that can fail makes me paranoid.

Multi-field sorting: juxt and sort-by
This is a helpful hint, and probably one that others are already using, but seemed good to share. If you're sorting a list of maps on one field, you can use (sort-by :community list-of-residents) But sorting on two (or more) fields seems to require a little more coding: (sort-by :community (sort-by :last-name list-of-residents)) or (sort-by #(vector (:community %) (:last-name %)) list-of- residents) But the latter version is equivalent to the terser (sort-by (juxt :community :last-name) list-of-residents) The juxt function takes functions as an argument (and this includes function equivalents like keywords) and returns a function that generates a vector by applying each function in order. (Not clear enough? Well, from the docstring for juxt: Takes a set of functions and returns a fn that is the juxtaposition of those fns. The returned fn takes a variable number of args, and returns a vector containing the result of applying each fn to the args (left-to- right). Anyway, the resulting code for sort-by is terse and clear (even if the reader is not sure about juxt, the prominent key-fields may give the correct idea).

Wrong package name of record classes
Hi, I noticed that when I define a record (using defrecord) in a namespace having hyphen in its name (like abc.d-ef) and compile the clj file using AOT, a class file corresponding to the record defined is created in the package with the name same as the namespace it is defined in, with hyphen (in this case abc.d-ef) whereas everything else goes in the package with the name of the namespace with hyphens replaced by underscore (in this case abc.d_ef).

Re: defprotocol not working?
Ok, thanks for the answer. I actually have Leiningen installed, and I've just done a lein update - it's now on 1.2.0 as it says. Is this actually clojure 1.2.0, or just a stand-alone leiningen version? But I'm in the progress of just learning, so I don't want to have projects (yet). Because of that I installed clojure-1.1.jar (and clojure-contrib) manually, and found a clj shell script to run. I updated it to support clojure 1.1, and now when I want a REPL I type clj. When I want to run a script file, I type clj scriptfilename.clj. It's very simple, and pretty much resembles what I know from languages such as ruby (irb). Is there any way to use leiningen in this way - using it just for REPL and running test-scripts with simple command lines, not having to create projects (yet)?

Re: Today's clojure trick question
No, you can put a breakpoint on any class, regardless of where it's been loaded from. In this case, I'd suggest not relying on the line numbers shown in source dumps. At least in my experience, line numbers in the standard library source differ from what is shown at runtime. All three Java IDEs allow you to set breakpoints on specific classes and methods, irrespective of line number -- doing that will allow you to set the right breakpoint, if the line number in Booleaninit(boolean) happens to mismatch whichever source tree you have wired into the IDE. - Chas On Aug 18, 12:57 pm, Nicolas Oury nicolas.o...@gmail.com wrote: I am not an expert.

Re: Nil Coalesce
I have a solution : (defn unfold [f as] (if-let [[hd new-as] (apply f as)] (lazy-seq (cons hd (apply unfold f new-as))) ())) unfold could be called co-reduce or coreduce. It is the dual operation of reduce, in category theory. Instead of reducing a seq to create a value, it generates a seq from a value. (generate is sometimes a name for that, too) I don't know if it is somewhere in core or contrib. With this function, it is very simple: (defn nil-coalesce [s1 s2] (unfold #(and %1 (if (first %1) [(first %1) [(next %1) %2]] [(first %2) [(next %1) (next %2)]])) s1 s2)) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

auto-indentation and parens highlighting are better than lines with only one parens. At least for me. There is no law. Do what is best for you.

Re: What is the reason Lisp code is not written with closing parenthesis on new lines?
Putting them on separate lines put the focus on the wrong element of the code. You do not want to be focusing on the parentheses, you want to be focusing on the structure of the code. The idiomatic lisp formatting style uses indentation to reveal the large scale structure of the code, and so the parentheses can be neatly tucked away. With a little experience, the parentheses will start to fade from view. Additionally, putting them on separate lines waste vertical space, and you should be using an editor that supports paren matching so you don't need to count them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: What is the reason Lisp code is not written with closing parenthesis on new lines?
Three reasons. First, code density, that is the number of (/ number-of-lines-of-code number-of-lines-on-screen) should approach 1 so that every line on the screen is code.

ANN: SQLRat - A Clojure 1.2 library to access Relational Databases using DataTypes
Hi, I have uploaded source code (Apache 2 license) for SQLRat - a library for Clojure 1.2 to access relational databases using DataTypes (entities). It also lets you define relations between entities and navigate them. While this is a part of what typically Object- Relational Mapping (ORM) frameworks do, it is not an ORM framework per se -- it does not implement State managent, Identity management, Lazy loading, Eager fetching etc. The code is quite rough around the edges right now and beta-quality at best (at 0.1-SNAPSHOT), but it works nevertheless. I intend to release it as GA soon after Clojure 1.2 goes GA too. The source code is here: http://bitbucket.org/kumarshantanu/sqlrat/ Discussions can be posted here: http://groups.google.com/group/bitumenframework You may also like to keep a tab at this: http://code.google.com/p/bitumenframework/ The intent of this announcement is to gather feedback, so that I can fix as many warts as I can before doing a 0.1 GA release. It is not on Clojars yet, but the GA will eventually be there. The most important parts to review would be the API it exposes, followed by the implementation details. So, I would request you to give the library a try, ask questions (I would be happy to answer), give feedback, make suggestions and if you can, fork and contribute as well. The usage can be found in the dbblog.clj file, which contains the unit tests and describes how the library can be used.

Re: What is the reason Lisp code is not written with closing parenthesis on new lines?
The indentation is enough of a hint to get it right. For example, in myfn-a, because you've indented it correctly I can easily tell that (dec b) is the second argument to recur, without looking at the parentheses at all. Isolating close-parens would probably help a little with this task, but the loss of screen real estate would far outweigh the gains. Without the indentation to help, indeed we would be lost in a sea of parens and it might be necessary to put one on each line; but as Phil points out, computers are better at that than we are, so we can leave the parentheses as an implementation detail and work on top of the indentation-based abstraction emacs (or whatever IDE) offers us.

Re: What is the reason Lisp code is not written with closing parenthesis on new lines?
A more serious answer is that when I code in Java I use the brace-on-a-line kind of indentation. When I code in Lisp I never write single-line parens of any kind. I find that I think differently in each language. My Java code is always a pile of declare-this, do-this, do-this, return Thus I find that I'm delimiting the scope of my variables, marking my control flow and branching logic, try/catch logic, class boundaries, etc. My Lisp code mixes control flow and data structures in the same syntax. Thus the idea that parens are some kind of control flow delimiter is not particularly meaningful. To see the alternative case, take a Java program, find every function call such as: MyFactory(somearg); throw away the ';', and move the paren left to get: (MyFactory somearg) Now the question you're asking is, why don't lispers write (MyFactory somearg ) which makes me cringe. A second reason is that Lisp allows you to think things that Java does not. Java has this imperative, object-oriented, hierarchical style of writing. My lisp code sytle varies to fit the problem. Sometimes it is imperative, sometimes functional, sometimes OO, sometimes snobol-like pattern matching, sometimes class-based. Occasionally I dynamically construct the code and execute it inline. Or I use macros to create my own problem language and code in that. And I create my data structures on the fly inline to the code. Once you really internalize lisp there are no real constraints on what you think or write. Thus there is no question of bracing style that is meaningful. The whole idea of bracing style is Java-think. Your language choice has given you an OO-procedural mindset. So when you reach for Lisp you want to see what you have come to expect. People who work with bricks (Java) tend to wonder why they don't find bricks among people who work with modelling clay (Lisp). The answer isn't in the material, it is in your mindset. Just by looking at lisp code I can tell what your native language is. Fortran programmers simulate COMMON blocks, C programmers use things as pointers, etc. You can write Fortran in any language is a famous quote but you can't write Lisp in any language. And you can quote me on that. (But only in my obituary :-) ) In fact, I think that this is going to be the hardest barrier to the adoption of Clojure.

I should qualify my response though to say that I am not advocating that everyone switch their preferred style of code. Just simply giving reasons for why some prefer one style over another.

If the indentation were fixed (and the long functions refactored) it would be a lot more readable. In order to reformat it with trailing parens, you'd have to fix the basic indentation first anyway... In the blog post's example, I found the println 'parent' straight away and the extra vertical whitespace didn't help (sorry but lone closing parens just create vertical whitespace for me). I did find the 4 char indents easier to read than the 2 char indents.

Yes, I read the link. I'm going to hazard a guess that lisp is not your native language :-) I consider Lisp to be one of my favorite languages (if not my favorite), and I've been coding in it for several years. It's rather silly to assume something about someone's programming experience based on their code style. Sometimes you'd be right, and other times you'd be wrong, just as with any sort of stereotyping. Scope is a very slippery concept in a language like lisp. Where it does occur in obvious cases (e.g. a let) you'll find that lispers universally indent their code, just like everyone else. This I understand very well (as I mentioned in the post). It really has no bearing on the central argument though. It's only introduced as a guideline as to where you might want to consider trailing your parens. That's a very personal issue and I don't think I've ever struggled to understand code based on the outdenting style. I think I've said that several times now. :-) I actually do like the succinctness of stacked parenthesis, but unfortunately that style has many shortcomings that I find rather annoying.

Too bad. If you wanted to focus on the trailing-parens (which you clearly did in that article), you should have kept everything else the same between your examples. Perhaps I should, then I wouldn't have to respond to your emails. :-p As I've said multiple times now, now indentation width does help readability, but adding trailing parenthesis on top of that can increase it further. From an information theoretic point of view, it should be obvious. Whereas on the one hand you only have one bit of information to judge what function you're in (just increasing indentation width), on the other you have two bits (indentation width + trailing parenthesis). Closing the comments after people started to question you on this wasn't a good move, either (otherwise I'd be commenting there rather than here).

Re: What is the reason Lisp code is not written with closing parenthesis on new lines?
The Incanter example is confusing for the same reason that the Leiningen example from the blog post is confusing, and I don't think paren style matters at all. The functions have grown over time, they're now too big, and they need to be refactored into several smaller functions. The paren style is a red herring. core.clj is readable because its functions are short. When your code makes you want to outdent, you can take this as a signal that your function has gotten too big and needs to be refactored. - Will Morgan On Aug 18, 4:36 pm, Greg g...@kinostudios.com wrote: Now the question you're asking is, why don't lispers write (MyFactory somearg ) which makes me cringe.

People who work with bricks (Java) tend to wonder why they don't find bricks among people who work with modelling clay (Lisp). The answer isn't in the material, it is in your mindset. Just by looking at lisp code I can tell what your native language is. Fortran programmers simulate COMMON blocks, C programmers use things as pointers, etc. You can write Fortran in any language is a famous quote but you can't write Lisp in any language. And you can quote me on that. (But only in my obituary :-) ) In fact, I think that this is going to be the hardest barrier to the adoption of Clojure.

Re: cool compiler-project?
Write a compiler routine to detect tail recursion. It is my (limited) understanding that Java can perform tail recursion elimination but only under limited conditions. Is there a way to detect tail recursion in Clojure and dynamically rewrite the code to do real recursion rather than using recur? Is your solution general enough?

Re: Today's clojure trick question
However, if you do (let [x (java.lang.Boolean/getBoolean false)] (if x :trouble :ok)) you're fine, which obviously isn't helpful in your situation. Boolean.getBoolean() is pretty evil, too. It was featured in one of Joshua Bloch's java puzzlers (which might have been borrowed from somewhere else, I don't know if it was originally his). Watch out, it might not do what you think it does. :) For instance: System.out.println(Boolean.getBoolean(false)); System.out.println(Boolean.getBoolean(true)); System.out.println(Boolean.getBoolean(fred)); will print false three times.

Re: What is the reason Lisp code is not written with closing parenthesis on new lines?
I've rarely found these coding style discussions to be productive, and have wondered why source control systems don't just store code in a whitespace normalized format and automatically format the code to your own taste when you check it out, because, let's face it, formatting is semantically irrelevant. It may help *you* grasp the meaning more quickly, but the opposite may be true for others. But I guess automatic formatting would totally destroy the ability to talk about line 16 of a particular file. Then I move on to thinking it best for a language designer to just legislate fomatting and make it a compiler error, but that would probably generate more discussion than otherwise, so I've just written the whole thing off as a lose-lose situation. But maybe I'm just getting cumudgenly in my old age. I do however firmly believe that each language has a worldview and a culture that coaleces around it, and one is better off either adopting it whole hog, or finding another language that matches better with one's own worldview. Something akin to what Brenton said about choosing a language because it mirrors your thinking, not because of readability concerns. It is a disaster to try to force the idioms of one language to be true in another. Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: What is the reason Lisp code is not written with closing parenthesis on new lines?
I'm reminded gigamonkey's footnote about when functions get too big: A friend of mine was once interviewing an engineer for a programming job and asked him a typical interview question: how do you know when a function or method is too big? Well, said the candidate, I don't like any method to be bigger than my head. You mean you can't keep all the details in your head? No, I mean I put my head up against my monitor, and the code shouldn't be bigger than my head. [1] There are many different styles for source code, but my experience with lisp suggests that variable indentation (as provided by emacs lisp-mode or clojure-mode) and parens-not-on-their-own-line makes for much more readable code. core.clj is a good example where the code is generally readable, but I shudder to think what it would be like to read the code for doseq or destructure if each closing parenthesis were on its own line. And, as for writing code, I couldn't live without paredit. To each their own, but let's not go down the route of saying hey, you're code formatting style sucks, but I don't want to start a flame war :).

It isn't helpful at all to me. My eyes bleed when I see code written like that. It may be helpful to some people, but I don't see the point when I have an editor that can match parens for me without any real work on my part.

Re: cool compiler-project?
Could the compiler insert phantom method bodies around classes? Or does the JVM insist that you can't lie about the code structure? Am I being too lispish for the JVM? Clearly the JVM needs to look up some factoid out of the method body in order to recur so I'm suggesting that the whole set of classes get wrapped in a phantom method. The code that comes out of the compiler does not need to mirror the code that went into the compiler. That's the whole point of doing compiler optimizations. Perhaps a literature pointer could make the restriction clear.
