I've been investigating how to handle configuration in a Clojure application/library, and have discovered two main candidates: dynamics vars and argument passing.
The downsides to dynamic vars seem to be: hiddenness, thread safety, and more complex tests (binding before each test). The downside to argument passing is noise in the code (especially when you're just passing the config through). Longer and more descriptive names for the config (i.e. not "ctx" or "cfg") make this noise even more painful. Are there any alternatives that I've missed? What is the current best practice for handling configuration? Cheers, James -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
