Hello, Just one thought, since I also tried to convert some emacs lisp code to clojure recently ( paredit.el ).
It seemed a good idea at first, something like : 1. I write a one-to-on conversion, using the same idioms that are used in CL in clojure 2. I write a bunch of non-regression tests 3. I rewrite as much as is necessary so that it becomes idiomatic clojure and not "CL in clojure". ( remember how some people coming from C world used to write "C-in-java" ? ) After a couple hours working on 1., though, I gave up since the code "seemed" (*) too imperative and didn't feel "right". I just felt not "at home" with the code produced. Since I had the chance that the problem was well understood by me and I could afford some minor regressions here and there, I stopped step 1, and currently I'm just doing TDD with steps 2. and 3., writing idiomatic (at least I hope so :-) ) clojure from scratch. HTH, -- Laurent (*) : I say "semeed" because I don't know emacs lisp that much, and, maybe, if I had followed the road until its end, I would have made different conclusions. 2010/1/19 Conrad Taylor <conra...@gmail.com>: > Hi, I'm starting to convert some code over from Lisp to Clojure. > Thus, I was wondering, what's the appropriate mapping for the > following forms: > > defvar > defparamater > let* > defconstant > mapcar > > BTW, I was able to find the "Clojure Programming Tutorials and Tips" > but it didn't require the above forms. > > Thanks in advance, > > -Conrad > > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Clojure" group. > To post to this group, send email to clojure@googlegroups.com > Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with your > first post. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > clojure+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/clojure?hl=en >
