Re: Do you like the Clojure syntax?

Even if I think the current syntax is one of the best, could you say what Clojure's capability couldn't be done with another syntax? Other languages implement FP without lisp syntax and the macros could be done in another way, perhaps with AST (like in groovy). Le 13 août 2013 08:53, "Alex Barano

Re: Do you like the Clojure syntax?

IMO, macros without homoiconicity are unnecessarily complex: so in that sense Clojure's syntax makes macros simpler. Where macros are simply reorganizing some data in Clojure, in a language like Groovy you've got to jump through hoops and only get a limited slice of the power. Homoiconicity gives

Re: Do you like the Clojure syntax?

I think it depends on what is important to you. For me, the syntax is core to the language because it encourages a certain mindset. The default for everything is (verb noun noun noun...) - this is the kingdom of verbs, and functions are how you build things. If you added an infix syntax, or some

Re: function creation, partial or #()

Hi, Partial calls apply, so it's not as performant as #(..). That can make quite the difference depending on where it's used. All instances of partial were removed recently in carmine/nippy and that resulted in quite a performance improvement. On Tuesday, August 13, 2013 2:47:01 PM UTC+2, Jay

Re: function creation, partial or #()

Though in some cases the performance impact could be significant, my concern is readability. My understanding of the concept of partial function application is that it's about supplying some but not all of the arguments.
