Re: bots in closure

Hi Frank, Chatbot is a bit of a loaded term, so could you please give a bit of clarification? 1. Are you expecting natural language (spoken or text), or rigid/regex-based commands for user input? - If NL, - do you want to leverage an existing service for intent c

Re: create vectors for each key/value pair

First, the fn sorted-map is variable argument and expects to be given (sorted-map :z 1, :b 2, :a 3) and not (sorted-map my-map). To use sorted-map, you'll need to do something like: (apply sorted-map (mapcat identity my-map)) Se

Re: Search seqs in seqs

Here's a solution based on your description that behaves like core partition fns, taking liberty to presume your example should've matched the output below. (defn partition-by-seq [sub-seq coll] (letfn [(step [coll] (when-let [coll (seq coll)] (let [[run more] (spli

Re: Best way to pass parameters?

I'd prefer to combine #1 with a validation layer, similar to prismatic's schema but with a few tweaks. Something* that filtered the param keys based on the allowed columns and ensured the values were sane. Then, hopefully write generic sql helper fns to create the parameterized SET stmt strin

Re: Why is this so difficult?

The easiest, when anything becomes a road block, is simply tryclj.comcombined with 4clojure.com. Those two alone can give you enough to work with and chew on while you become more familiar with clojure and setup a proper environment (including Leiningen). Another simplification is to use lei

Re: core/group-by with optional value-mapper function

I like the idea of it being built-in and might prefer that approach, however, I wanted to share an alternative. https://gist.github.com/4346395 I needed to take a denormalized table of config data and create a nested lookup map, so that I wouldn't need to repeatedly filter the dataset while us
