I think the path navigator DSL feels slightly un-Clojurey. But other than that, I think Specter is pure magic and Nathan is right that editing deeply nested data structures in Clojure is a point of deficiency, especially for people coming from mutable languages/data structures. To that extent, I think Specter does a yeoman's job of filling that "missing piece" of Clojure. Again, it's only the navigator DSL that feels a little un-Clojurey to me. +1. the functionality is great, but the api imho is not just a little unclojurish, it's massively unclojurish. MAP-VALS? END? No way, for me at least. Specter is a specific solution to a general problem. all such solutions will probably boil down to more or less the same thing, implementation-wise. but the interface makes all the diff. for example, it's easy to imagine a more xsl-like (or even css-like) syntax with the same functionality. so fwiw i would oppose making specter part of core, but i would enthusiatically support making the functionality of specter part of core, in some form yet to be determined. -g -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
