I made a stupid mistake, and I want to share. This is not the actual code, I 
simplify it to demonstrate the point. 

I use a atom to a global hash as follow:

 (def *aa* (atom {:x 3 :y 4 :z 17}))


Somewhere on the code, I have a function which look at the state and do 
something:

(defn foo [state]

           (when (:x state) print "yes"))

 

My mistake - call foo as: 

(foo *aa*) 

where I should have call it 

(foo @*aa*)

 

Since (:x (atom *aa*)) is nil, print was not execute.

4 long hours later, I got it, fix it, and added the appropriate 
precondition.

I understand there is no escape from my own silliness, but could I have 
avoided this mistake to begin with?

Any best practice I broke?

 

Thanks

Tzach
