I have a question about this: "Servers that are running on a particular port can be tracked and stopped. I have to say, this was the feature that I wanted the most, which motivated the framework's design. The annoying thing about development in emacs is that I have to be careful of not losing the reference to the server. Since there was no way of stopping it unless the repl is restarted. I wanted to implement a registery for references to running servers to be saved."
http://z.caudate.me/the-abstract-container-pattern/ I have the impression that he's going over the same territory as that covered by Stuart Sierra, though Zheng doesn't mention "Component" nor "Sierra". But he offers this as an example of what he's after: (defprotocol IRunnable (start! [system]) (stop! [system]) (restart! [system] ) (started? [system]) (stopped? [system])) That much seems similar to Sierra's system. Zheng seems to add an additional layer by simulating an abstract class above his protocols. As he says: - A single deftype acts as the *abstract container*, extending one or more protocols - A set of methods defined through defmulti that is used within the deftype form act as *abstract methods* - The *abstract methods* all dispatch on map keys (usually :type). I am curious if others have found this useful? Most of the people who work with Clojure have backgrounds with Object Oriented Programming, so that paradigm sometimes seems natural, or at least familiar. I often think these designs are more verbose than they need to be, but I am curious how others feel. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
