I'm happy to announce we've released a Clojure API for Rama in the latest release. We've published an introductory blog post that culminates in building a scalable auction application with timed listings, bids, and notif

[ANN] proxy-plus: Faster and more usable replacement for "proxy"

proxy+ is a replacement for Clojure's proxy that's faster and more usable. proxy has a strange implementation where it overrides every possible method and uses a mutable field to store a map of string -> function for dispatching the methods. This causes it to be unable to handle methods with th

Re: OK idea to replace conj and cons with "prepend" and "append" macros that have consistent behavior and return same types as args?

If you want to be able to arbitrarily manipulate your data structures, you should look at Specter. I recommend reading my introductory blog post on it: http://nathanmarz.com/blog/clojures-missing-piece.html The `BEFORE-ELEM` and `AFTER-ELEM` navigators are what you use for prepending/appending.

[ANN] Specter 1.1.0: solving the `dissoc-in` problem

Edwin, these personal comments about me are extremely inappropriate. Your claim that I ignore the work of others is just plain wrong, and that you would make such comments out of the blue is truly incomprehensible. You claim Specter is "deeply un-Clojure-y" without providing a single example. T

Re: Contribute Specter to Clojure core?

Contribute Specter to Clojure core?

One of the most common questions I get about Specter is whether it will ever become part of Clojure core. I think it's an interesting proposal and would like to see what the community and core team thinks. The primary reason for contributing would be that Specter makes Clojure a stronger langua

Re: ANN: Specter 0.11.0, performance without the tradeoffs

No, because that global mutable variable would need to be specifiable by Specter on usage of the library. For example, if you wrote: (defn foo [] (select [:a :b] {:a {:b 1}})) `select` has no ability to control anything outside the context of its form. It certainly can't wrap `foo` to put a v

Specter is a library for querying and transforming nested data structures concisely and efficiently. The 0.11.0 release is a huge milestone that implements something which for the better part of the past year I wasn't sure was possible. In summary: now you don't have to do anything special to m

How do threads work in command-line REPL?

I was doing some work that involved the use of thread locals, and I noticed that within a REPL session (launched via 'lein repl') my thread locals would reset themselves to their initial value. I did some digging and found that the thread id keeps changing within a single REPL session, e.g.: user=

Both of those examples use half-open intervals :) The first selects the subsequence with indices 1,2,3, and the second selects the subsequence with indices 2,3. You can see in the second example that [2 3] in the overall sequence is replaced by [-1 -1 -1]. On Thu, Jan 28, 2016 at 9:10 PM, Alan Tho

Using type hints to optimize protocol invocation

My understanding is that invocation of protocol methods incurs about 30% overhead due to the need to look up the appropriate function for the type. I also learned recently that Clojure does not use static type information to do the lookup at compile-time and avoid the overhead. Given that Clojure a

Running test.check and cljs.test tests under Clojurescript

I'm trying to get Specter's tests running under ClojureScript. I can run the tests manually in a REPL just fine, but I cannot figure out a straightforward way to run all the tests like you can in Clojure with "lein test". Here are the tests I'm trying to run, which are a mix of tests defined using
