Does anyone have style suggestions for distinguishing the states from the refs to mutable data?
Let's say I'm manipulating a cell in a lattice, or doing dynamic programming, or something. In any case, I have a cell. ;; Current convention: use "cell-" as the type of the state of a "cell". (defstruct cell- :location :data) (defn make-cell [location data] (ref (struct-map cell- :location location :data data)) (defn print-cell- [cell-state] (prn cell-state)) (defn print-cell [cell] (print-cell- @cell)) The details don't matter that much, but what would people name these arguments? Is the "cell-" convention good? I'd use something like "cell %" if I were in scheme, but that's not legal in Clojure. What should I name function arguments to distinguish the ones that take the refs from the ones that take the states? Clearly, I can come up with something that keeps me happy, but I was wondering if the community's evolved a standard or has an opinion.
