BTW have had some folks comment on the length of the video. This wasn't clear, so will point it out now: if you're looking for a quick overview I'd start with the Quickstart (https://github.com/ptaoussanis/truss#quickstart) and examples (https://github.com/ptaoussanis/truss#detailed-usage) rather than the talk.
The lib's *really* small and takes 2 seconds to learn - the talk's mostly there to go into motivations behind the lib and its design choices. If that stuff's obvious to you (or not interesting), feel free to just dive in to the examples. Only warning: the examples are mostly for syntax, not use case. You can certainly use Truss for simple type assertions, but that's rarely where it's most interesting. Personally, I've found it most useful in verifying assumptions about application state and that sort of thing. Or for more subtle type assertions in hairy code (e.g. re: the presence of nils, blank strings, number ranges, specific collection types or counts, conditions w/in `reduce`(or transducer) calls, etc.). Sweet spot's often in larger and/or more complex code but that's largely to taste. Litmus test: if you're writing a complex piece of code and you find yourself making implementation choices based on context that's currently clear to you from your understanding of how the application works or the state it'd be in if this code is running - that context might be worth formally capturing in a Truss assertion. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
