Hi, you could check for io! to find forms with side-effect, but i think it is seldom used. Florian http://clojuredocs.org/clojure_core/clojure.core/io! 2013/9/8 Maximilien Rzepka > Found many times apropos useful... > user> (apropos "partition") > (partition-by partition-all partition) > > But

Interesting! Though it executes every function in order to find the matches, which is a little bit dangerous as Clojure doesn't enforce purity :( I wonder if it would be possible to improve it using the core.typed library and doing some kind of static analysis similar to Haskell's Hoogle to f

Thanks for the gist, nice solution but it's not viable for real world code without some heavy filtering. If I execute it on my current project it starts a server, sends a bunch of emails and hangs forever =) On Friday, September 6, 2013 2:12:29 PM UTC+2, Frantisek Sodomka wrote: > > Hello, > thi

Mayank: thanks! Shaun: I thought about approximations too but that's enough complexity to be another library by itself. If there's such a library that I can feed two values and it returns how similar they are with some percentage I would gladly integrate it with wally. Of course wally only wor

Hey guys, I don't know about you but when I was a beginner in Clojure (and it still happens every now and then) I had a hard time finding functions using `doc` or `find-doc`, normally because I didn't remember the name of the function or because my only clue was a generic name so find-doc would
