Group words by their first letter and sum their frequencies

Hi everyone, I'm new to Clojure and trying to learn my way around the language. I've written a function that sums the frequencies of words starting with the same letter, however I'm not fully satisfied with the result. I'm striving for readability and idomaticity, but I fear that my rather limi

Hi Matt, Thanks for your work on this library, it looks truly excellent. The next time I need to deal with dates or times I'll be reaching straight for simple-time. Cheers, James On Thursday, March 20, 2014 7:15:55 PM UTC+1, Matt Bossenbroek wrote: > > It is my pleasure to announce simple-tim

Re: local mutable state

Hi Andy, I think Mr. Reeves gave you some excellent reasons to avoid using local mutable state, especially when trying to learn functional programming. If you're interested in seeing a spoiler for 114 you can look at one approach below (if you don't want a spoiler, then close this tab post-hast

Re: boolean problem

Hi Roelof, I'd recommend using an editor that supports rainbow brackets so you can easily see when your parens are matched. Also, when you get your parens matched you'll find another error in your code, check out the docs for if to figure th

Also, don't forget that vectors are zero indexed, so (- (count v) 1) will give you the last element, not the second last. Cheers, James On Sunday, May 4, 2014 4:49:45 PM UTC+2, Lee wrote: > > > > On May 4, 2014, at 10:42 AM, Roelof Wobben > > wrote: > > > For 4clojure I have to find the second

How to handle configuration in Clojure?

I've been investigating how to handle configuration in a Clojure application/library, and have discovered two main candidates: dynamics vars and argument passing. The downsides to dynamic vars seem to be: hiddenness, thread safety, and more complex tests (binding before each test). The downsid

Thanks for all your hard work on this - it looks awesome, and I can't wait to play around with it! I like the conciseness of the project name, but I worry that it doesn't roll off the tongue all that well. I guess that *jure* library names are considered passé by most, but in this case I actual
