Re: Code generation at runtime

Nicolas, Perhaps a rules engine could be of use to you? I have to put in a small plug for Jess: Jess is a rules engine designed for integration with Java, especially for writing expert systems and other situations in which you might want forward- chaining reason

Re: Code generation at runtime

You could generate a file and call 'load-file'. Then if it didn't work the way you expect you have an artifact you can debug with. I think eval is really making your life a bit more difficult and I am not following your eval'd code very well. Chris On Jun 23, 4:12 am, Nicolas Oury wrote: > He

Re: Code generation at runtime

Hello, Thank you very much for your answers. I know generating code at runtime (evaling) is not something very common, but that's something I need to do. I am writing a simulation software for a rule-based modelisation language. Typically, this kind of thing does millions of time the same loop

Re: Code generation at runtime

I think the best way for me to approach this is to ask what you want to do. This is a generalization, but most code doesn't need to call eval - the REPL does, and some advanced uses of generating code at runtime based on data. The normal Lisp approach for code that generates code is macros (defma

Code generation at runtime

Dear all, I am quite new to clojure, and I can't find any good way to generate code at runtime. Of course, there is eval, but eval is not very competent in manipulating namespace and bindings at runtinme. For example, this: - (binding [*ns* *ns*] (eval '(do (ns Blop (:gen-class))
