Yeah, nrepl support for CCW, which Chas personnally did, has been an incredibly valuable addition. I'm glad to see more tools adopting it for backend support ! 2011/5/7 isaac praveen : > Chas, > > Thanks for nREPL. It is a very useful tool. > > -- > isaac > http://icylisper.in > > -- > You receiv

What is the purpose of the Identity function?

At the risk of sounding completely dense, I am having a hard time understanding the purpose of the Identity function. As far as I can tell all it does is return what is passed to it. Review code I see it used all the time, and cannot understand why it is needed. Any insight? Thanks Base -- Y

Re: What is the purpose of the Identity function?

My two cents: You can use it with the operator ->, in order to pass something to another function, or for propagating an input of some sort. It sounds sensed? Bye, Alfredo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group. To post to this group, send em

Re: What is the purpose of the Identity function?

I usually use identity as a predicate for functions such as filter, drop-while, take-while, etc. Consider this silly example: imagine you had an operation that fetches stuff from a resource (DB, network, etc.) and that upon failing it returns nil. Additionally, imagine that you're interested in ru

Re: What is the purpose of the Identity function?

I just grepped the clojure source code and an interesting use is in walk.clj https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/clj/clojure/walk.clj#L62 `walk` has flexibility with higher order functions, but identity helps with the simple case of just returning the forms elegantly. I thought it

Thanks for letting us know Meikel. These are similar issues that we have encountered with the jark client. We are planning to rewrite it in Haskell (currently Python), I'm sure there will be similarities between a potential VimClojure client. I have tried to tinker with VimClojure but sadly never

Re: ANN: Jark 0.3 (using the nrepl protocol)

Maybe a silly question, but anyway ... for CCW, there is this idea of having it maintain, for each open project (probably depending on a flag, but that's out of topic), in the background (totally transparently for the user), a running JVM environment where CCW would maintain the project classes an

How Clojure protocols are implemented internally?

Is there a document describing internal implementation of Clojure protocols? I.e. what is happening "under the hood"? To be specific suppose I have extended ICountable protocol with a single "count" method to String class. What happens when I call (count "some string")? At what point dynamic dispat

Re: How Clojure protocols are implemented internally?

See: http://clojure.org/protocols "defprotocol will automatically generate a corresponding interface" Although it is not true that a protocol is equivalent to an interface. For deep "under the hood" you can check out the source: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/clj/clojure/core_d
