Re: Marshal 1.0.0

Take it easy, no disrespect intended to Gloss, it just wasn't my preference that is all. You're incorrect about Marshal relying on maps to retain their order! On Sun, Feb 5, 2012 at 8:01 PM, Alan Malloy wrote: > Gloss certainly handles variable-size frames: the wiki even has a > number of examp

Re: Marshal 1.0.0

Gloss certainly handles variable-size frames: the wiki even has a number of examples of the different built-in ways you can encode the size, and you can write a custom size-detector if none of those suit you. As for streams vs channels, my understanding is that the java.nio package Gloss uses was i

Avi Flax recently pointed out that (formatter "fmtstr") creates a formatter in UTC whereas the underlying Joda Time library uses the default timezone when you do DateTimeFormat.forPattern(): https://github.com/seancorfield/clj-time/issues/8 Given that a two-argument version exists to specify a ti

Re: Marshal 1.0.0

I did look at Gloss before writing Marshal and decided against using it in our application suite, I wanted something more focused utilizing InputStream/OutputStream interface and able to handle variable sized arrays/strings (size of array or string specified in packet). On Sun, Feb 5, 2012 at 6:1

Zack Tellman's library Gloss is excellent for this, if a bit confusing to understand at first. On Feb 5, 2:50 pm, russellc wrote: > I needed a library  to handle marshaling application defined (C > struct) binary TCP/IP protocol packets in a Clojure client app > replacing a legacy C++ client and

[ANN] Marshal 1.0.0

I needed a library to handle marshaling application defined (C struct) binary TCP/IP protocol packets in a Clojure client app replacing a legacy C++ client and there didn't seem to be an existing library that performed as I needed. So, I've written a Marshal library that marshals from the network

instant literal

I'm looking at the new instant literal in Clojure 1.4-beta1. The documentation is out of date for clojure.instant/read-instant-date, etc. It mentions *instant-reader* but I think that mechanism was generalized as *data-readers*. Same issue for read-instant-calendar and read-instant-timestamp.

mixins/multiple inheritance

Hi, I found some posts about this topic, but they did not clarify things in my head well enough, so I have to start my own... :) I'm basically craving for multiple inheritance or mixins, at least with my current way of thinking. I haven't really gone deep enough with multimethods or protocols, so
