An aspect-oriented library for Clojure Most aspect-oriented patterns I have seen in Clojure work one of two ways: first, via rebinding var roots dynamically; or second, via functional composition. While both of these patterns are perfectly adequate for many use cases, they are not (IMO) perfect solutions for all. If I wish to avoid dynamic rebinding or if I do not wish to eschew built-in language/tooling features (fn arglist metadata, docstrings, etc.), then typical patterns won't work.
The following library provides an extension to Clojure's built-in `defn` form that allows you to tag your function definitions with compile-time macro transformations. It also provides very simple macro constructors for the most common use cases. It's not intended to replace dynamic decorations <https://github.com/technomancy/robert-hooke> or functional composition <https://stackoverflow.com/a/5574392/2472391>, but to provide another useful tool in the box. The library's motivation is explained with a simple example here <https://github.com/galdre/morphe/blob/master/docs/rationale.md>, and a more detailed comparison with other Clojure idioms is found here <https://github.com/galdre/morphe/blob/master/docs/clojure-idioms.md>. https://github.com/galdre/morphe I've quite enjoyed building and using this library over the last few years, and I hope others can find it useful as well! I recently updated it to work with Clojurescript (but not self-hosted Clojurescript). This was an adventure, and it's quite possible there are some issues with the CLJS implementation that I have not yet discovered. ~Timothy Dean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
