Matthias, where can I find this "History of Clojure"? I searched for "It is better to have 100 transducers ..." and found no result (besides this very thread). I also searched for "History of Clojure" and only found this tweet from

Yes. See Clojure history. — Matthias > On Jan 25, 2019, at 4:21 PM, Jack Firth wrote: > > I don't intend to make these operations impossible or even difficult. One of > the other things on my wishlist is a transducers library, which would IMO be > a good fit for a lot of the logic that

Re: [racket-users] Collections and data structures wishlist?

I don't intend to make these operations impossible or even difficult. One of the other things on my wishlist is a transducers library, which would IMO be a good fit for a lot of the logic that Racket currently provides as list-processing functions. So if you want to process tuples as generalized

(define tuple/c list/c) The key to list/c and listof is that the code inside of functions contracted with either of them can use map and filter and everything else to process the arguments. > On Jan 24, 2019, at 8:33 AM, Gustavo Massaccesi wrote: > > I also like the idea of a contract

I also like the idea of a contract like "tuple/c", perhaps with a more rackety name. Gustavo On Wed, Jan 23, 2019 at 12:02 PM Greg Hendershott wrote: > >> - A separation between using lists as homogeneous collections and using > lists as fixed-size tuples. So there'd be a separate `tuple?`
