I prefer to use closures / higher order functions that return a function. Reasons: - You typically get much better performance by returning a closure. "partial" uses "apply", which adds a lot of overhead - It can result in cleaner user code (partials require a bit of mental decoding, and you can give the closure-returning function a good, specific name)
On naming, I like to use the "er" suffix to imply that the return value is a function that will perform the relevant task. e.g. (defn incrementer [value] (fn [x] (+ x value))) ((incrementer 3) 10) => 13 On Saturday, 17 August 2013 06:00:30 UTC+8, nodename wrote: > > (defn newgrid > > [m initialize qi qj]... > > > and then (let [init (partial newgrid m initialize)]... > > > Or else: > > > (defn newgrid > > [m initialize] > > (fn [qi qj]... > > > and then (let [init (newgrid m initialize)]... > -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
