Excellent point! I've modified --> so that now it's even more versatile and
only evaluates the functions once.
Now this is possible:
user=> (--> 1 (+ 1 _) (do (println "sideeffect!") _) (hash-map :a _ :b
(+ 3 _)) :b)
sideeffect!
5
It now requires an additional replace-all function (a modified replace):
(defn replace-all
[smap coll]
(if (vector? coll)
(reduce
(fn [v i]
(if-let [e (find smap (nth v i))]
(assoc v i (val e))
v
))
coll
(range (count coll))
)
(map
#(if-let [e (find smap %)]
(val e)
(if (seq? %)
(replace-all smap %)
%
)
)
coll
)
)
)
(defmacro -->
([x] x)
([x form]
(if (seq? form)
`(let [~'_ ~x] ~form)
(list form x)
)
)
([x form & more]
; cache the result of the first form
(let [_ `(--> ~x ~form)]
`(--> ~_ ~...@more)
)
)
)
