Hello, As I work through the Programming Clojure book, I play with the code I enter into the REPL. I just want to say that I am infinitely enjoying using the REPL in Counterclockwise. It does make multi-line code so much nicer.
I entered this. (defn whole-numbers [] (iterate inc 1)) (take 10 (for [n (whole-numbers) :when (> 100 n)] n)) As expected it outputs the desired results. This is after my first experiment which ended in putting the REPL into an infinite loop which required force quitting. (take 10 (for [n (whole-numbers) :when (> 10 n)] n)) As I had enter the above in a REPL that I had to quit. I tried it again after entering the successful command at the top. And I wondered why this one was infinite. Then I noticed that I had a (take 10 ...) which would never be satisfied and seq which was infinite and never cease iterating. So while I was watching the REPL churn up one of my two cores, I had a thought. I re-entered the successful command again. And the REPL took it and executed it just fine. I continued for a while executing both the infinite and finite versions of the above into the REPL. It just kept on going. It took all the cpu I could give, but kept going. At some point it ran out of resources and exited. This was not unexpected by me. Awesome job guys. Now that I had my perverse pleasure. Is there a way to force quit a command/job rather than the REPL? Thanks again for a totally awesome tool and language.
