Need advice/idiom to reduce number of parameters in functions

I have a set of functions that need a map of historic data. Hence, this map gets passed along from function to function, usually several levels deep. In addition to the map, a reference date also frequently get passed along in 80% of the API. Sometimes a third or fouth parameter is also passe

Thanks for the reply. I do like this. I think it's actually more elegant. Definitely going into my toolbox. One thing I dislike is that I still have to re-implement the logic of the already existing (performant & tested) transducers. Also, I could also add a 4th parameter: 'terminate-early?' but

I agree about the counter-intuitiveness. I'm only wondering whether the error message is a bit misleading "contains? not supported on type: java.lang.String" because of course (contains? "hello" 2) works fine. Shantanu On Wednesday, 13 May 2015 00:12:19 UTC+5:30, James Reeves wrote: > > contain

Re: contains? on String

contains? has always been a little counter-intuitive. It essentially only works on collections that allow for a constant or logarithmic lookup time, and often works on the "keys" of a collection, rather than its values. The only exception to this are sets, where the values are essentially keys as w
