Re: Frustrations so far

Peter, I share your frustration, or at least I did at one point. If you dig back about 6 years in this mailing list you will find an epic rant by me about OpenGL and Clojure. Looking back on what I thought at that time, I'll mention as perhaps they can help you not make the mistakes I did. 1) Be

If they are all in one namespace, you can use `ns-publics` on that namespace ... e.g. `(ns-publics 'user)`. On Sat, Jul 23, 2016 at 5:28 AM, Cecil Westerhof wrote: > For a project I define some extra functions if it is started in the REPL. > I like to know which extra

Re: Frustrations so far

Abstractions and dynamic/static typing are orthogonal. Static/dynamic is simply _when_ types are considered. Strong/weak typing is arguably more relevant and is about how narrowly type information is considered. I can't find an actual declaration but I consider Clojure is dynamic but strongly

Re: Frustrations so far

As James said it is correct, but maybe not intuitive. Intuitively we think an integer isn't empty, but actually it is a non-sensical question - Integers can no more be empty than they can be full. I noticed that Clojure's use of abstractions, and sticking to those abstractions is far greater than

Re: Frustrations so far

You are not alone - it's the number one frustration in the community https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/433y02/state_of_clojure_2015_survey_results/ But also see the responses - maybe we will have some major improvements with 1.9. Spec looks like good infra to support those efforts for

Displaying functions generated for the REPL

For a project I define some extra functions if it is started in the REPL. I like to know which extra functions there are in the REPL, so at the moment I am doing the following: (print (str "Defined REPL functions:\n" "- do-show-schemas\n" "- do-show-table
