In `clojure.core.reducers`, `map` <https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/clojure-1.8.0/src/clj/clojure/core/reducers.clj#L161-L169> is implemented as:
(defcurried map "Applies f to every value in the reduction of coll. Foldable." {:added "1.5"} [f coll] (folder coll (fn [f1] (rfn [f1 k] ([ret k v] (f1 ret (f k v))))))) I don't understand the purpose of `rfn`, and there are others confused about it as well <http://disq.us/p/8xfcyj>. >From what I can see, `rfn` takes a reducing function `f1` and returns a reducing function with 3 arities. For example, macroexpanding (rfn [f1 k] ([ret k v] (f1 ret (f k v)))) gives (fn ([] (f1)) ([ret v] (f1 ret (f v))) ([ret k v] (f1 ret (f k v)))) When is the 3-arity form used? An example would be helpful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
