Does anyone want to suggest or promote a naming convention for atoms, refs, and agents, i.e. some of things that you can dereference with @ i.e. deref?
(Also, what about futures, delays, and promises? I think of these as playing a different sort of role, even though deref works with them, too.) The Clojure style guide <https://github.com/bbatsov/clojure-style-guide#naming> says: Use *earmuffs* for things intended for rebinding (ie. are dynamic). ;; good (def ^:dynamic *a* 10) It could be reasonable to use earmuffs for atoms, etc., too, but I think that "@*my-atom*" is ugly because of the juxtaposed @-sign and asterisk, and in any event I think of rebinding as a different kind of thing from what happens with atoms/refs/agents. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
