I'm looking to do some operations upon the data in an associative structure. What do you think about this method of hijacking the definition of assoc-in? Is there some better way to do what I'm doing here?
user> (defn op-in [op m [k & ks] v] (if ks (assoc m k (op-in op (get m k) ks v)) (assoc m k (op (get m k) v)))) #'user/op-in user> (def union-in (partial op-in clojure.set/union)) #'user/union-in user> (union-in {:a [#{1 2}]} [:a 0] #{1 7 8}) {:a [#{1 2 7 8}]} user> (def conj-in (partial op-in conj)) #'user/conj-in user> (conj-in {:a [#{1 2}]} [:a 0] 7) {:a [#{1 2 7}]} -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
