Say you have a simple function: (defn do-work [f] (f)) When you want to call do-work you need a function, let's pretend we want to use this function: (defn say-hello [n] (println "hello" n))
Which of the following solutions do you prefer? (do-work (partial say-hello "bob")) (do-work #(say-hello "bob")) I'd been using partial (which I font-lock**), but a teammate recently pointed out that partial's documentation explicitly calls out the fact that the number of args to partial should be less than the number of args to f. In practice it's been working 'fine', but I can't help but wonder if I'm sacrificing something I'm not aware of (performance?) ** with a font-lock, using partial *displays* the same number of chars as the reader macro solution, and I find it more readable when everything is in the parenthesis. - http://blog.jayfields.com/2013/05/emacs-lisp-font-lock-for-clojures.html -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
