Re: What is the purpose of the Identity function?
I usually use identity as a predicate for functions such as filter, drop-while, take-while, etc. Consider this silly example: imagine you had an operation that fetches stuff from a resource (DB, network, etc.) and that upon failing it returns nil. Additionally, imagine that you're interested in running this operation for several resources and keeping those values which didn't fail. You can do so with identity: user= (defn my-operation-that-might-fail [x] (if (= x foo) x nil)) #'user/my-operation-that-might-fail user= (def some-values [bar foo baz]) #'user/some-values user= (filter identity (map your-pred some-values)) (foo) user= and you have your single operation that didn't fail.

I just grepped the clojure source code and an interesting use is in walk.clj https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/clj/clojure/walk.clj#L62 `walk` has flexibility with higher order functions, but identity helps with the simple case of just returning the forms elegantly.

Re: ANN: Jark 0.3 (using the nrepl protocol)
Maybe a silly question, but anyway ... for CCW, there is this idea of having it maintain, for each open project (probably depending on a flag, but that's out of topic), in the background (totally transparently for the user), a running JVM environment where CCW would maintain the project classes and namespaces loaded and up-to-date. Thus CCW would be able to suggest code completion, report errors, etc., without having to rely on/interfere with the JVMs the user may have started for his own needs. Of course, it would be desirable to be able to not blow all the user's computer memory ... so maybe having the ability to share JVM between several open projects in the IDEA, while keeping isolated different clojure environments, would be a plus. I had the idea of investigating what the project classlojure has to provide for this ... but maybe Jark would also be worth studying for this purpose, or would it not be the appropriate tool for the job ? 2011/5/5 isaac praveen icylis...@gmail.com: Hi, It is a pleasure to announce the release of Jark 0.3, today. Why Jark? Startup time of the Java Virtual Machine(JVM) is too slow and thereby command-line applications on the JVM are sluggish and very painful to use. Jark is an attempt to run a persistent JVM daemon and provide a set of utilities to control and operate on it. It should help in deploying clojure applications on the JVM, running command-line applications written in clojure and remote-debugging. The motivation is also to provide a very thin nrepl-client that can run on any given OS platform. Maybe one on the Android. The client host need not even have the JRE installed. The current implementation is in python(2.6 or 2.7) as a proof-of-concept and runs only on GNU/Linux and Mac OSX. Get started: http://icylisper.in/jark/start.html Jark has utilites for: a. Operating and tuning the JVM b. Managing classpaths c. Managing packages and repositories that are not project-specific (uses cljr) d. Scripting (#!/usr/bin/env jark) and namespaces. All of which can be done remotely. This is a sample usage: server jark vm start [--port] client jark vm connect [--host] [--port] client jark repl --- client jark vm stat client jark cp list server jark cp add jar client jark package install -p PACKAGE -v VERSION client jark ns load /path/to.clj and so on .. The earlier version (0.2) of jark used nailgun as a proof-of-concept server and client. The current release (0.3) of jark uses Chas Emerick's nrepl protocol for communication. I hope to rewrite the client in haskell, so native binaries can be generated, sometime soon. Have a look at the roadmap: Roadmap: http://icylisper.in/jark/roadmap.html Mailing list: https://groups.google.com/group/clojure-jark code: https://github.com/icylisper/jark.git Special thanks to: * Ambrose Bonnaire-Sergeant (for collaborating and providing very interesting ideas) * Bangalore-clojure group members for continuous feedback: Shantanu Kumar Abhijith Gopal Martin Demello Abhijit Hoskeri * other early jark users for valuable ideas and fixes Thats all folks!

Bingo. An HOF accepts a function that filters/mogrifies data before processing it in some way. Sometimes, you *don't* want to have that extra step. There are two ways to do that: one is to have two variants of the HOF - one which uses the function, and one which doesn't (which may mean it's not an HOF). The other is identity. Clojure does both, depending. You can see the first in sort and sort-by, where sort-by uses a keyfn to extract keys from items in the collection. You could just identity for the keyfn to sort by items, but this case is so common it gets it's own function - sort. Similarly, filter takes a predicate to check which items need to be removed. If you just want to remove false values, the appropriate predicate is identity. This case isn't very common, so there's no second version. mike -- Mike Meyer m...@mired.org http://www.mired.org/ Independent Software developer/SCM consultant, email for more information.

Re: How Clojure protocols are implemented internally?
See: http://clojure.org/protocols defprotocol will automatically generate a corresponding interface Although it is not true that a protocol is equivalent to an interface. For deep under the hood you can check out the source: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/clj/clojure/core_deftype.clj#L521 As for your specific case: clojure.core/count uses clojure.lang.RT/count [1] This function goes through some type checks, the first one being if the type implements clojure.lang.Counted [2] and if it is, calls the count function implemented in that type.

Re: How Clojure protocols are implemented internally?
Let me rephrase my question to avoid unfortunate confusion with standard count function: Suppose I have extended my own IMyCountable protocol with a single mycount method to String class.

Request for feedback: Tradui
Hi all, I've started development on tradui, a translator for the Creole markup language. It is not finished or in any deployable shape or form yet, however it's progressed enough to gather some feedback on the approach taken. Please feel free to clone https://github.com/AndreasKostler/tradui.git and comment away.

Testing functions that access a database
I'm looking for some input as to the best way to test functions that interact with a database. I've just started writing some tests for functions that read/write to a mysql database (using clojure.contrib.sql) but my problem is that I'd like the tests to begin with either an empty database or one that has been initialized with some known data. Some of my functions add/remove data from the database and so some of these tests will fail if run again on the changed database. I was thinking I'd have a fixture that loaded a mysql dump file before running the tests but I haven't found any way to do this in Clojure. Any suggestions? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: ANN: Java dependency injection in Clojure
Hi Alessio, My plan is to use this to wrap other Java frameworks to simplify their APIs. Internally, we started to use it to wrap Java libs as sets of resources accessible from Clojure and it simplifies things a lot. I have some ideas about wrapping Swing that I will experiment this summer. If you have suggestions, they are welcomed. I saw DynaSpring but lacked the time to go trough it throughly. I will have more time in the next month to look at it deeper. Thanx, Luc P.

It's definitively nicer doing dependency injection/auto-wiring using Clojure. This is part of our global effort here to confine Java as much as possible to lower layers. Lacking imagination (or being lazy ?), I called it boing. The source code is available athttps://github.com/lprefontaine/Boing and the Wiki there describes its scope and capabilities. It's a 1.0 version. It should make it to prod beginning of this summer. The jar is on Clojars ([org.clojars.lprefontaine/boing 1.0] in leiningen). It may be of interest to people having mixed environments and potentially to some using external Java libraries. It's much more dynamic than XML and significantly shorter. Look at the examples folder. Comments are welcomed. The TODO list is not yet published but we see a few things we want to add to it especially in the area of resource management and some optimizations. Code wise I think it's not too horrible given that I had to squeeze this in my already ultra-tight schedule in the last three weeks or so. That's really nice! I did something similar in Common Lisp, called DynaSpring [1]. I think this kind of thing fits Lisp perfectly, and it's nice to see an implementation of similar ideas in Clojure. Perhaps we can mutually take inspiration from each other's projects and, why not, even share some code and ideas. Right now I'm not actively developing it because I'm no longer using Spring at work, but still I like the concept and hope to use it on a real project sooner or later. I wish you well for boing!
