Hey Clojurians, I'm a Clojure and Common Lisp newbie. I heard that Norvig's PAIP was a good book to study idiomatic CL code, so I've embarked on a project to translate the examples to / work the exercises in Clojure. I hope to complete this project before the end of this century :-)
Regarding "append" from CL: ISTM that this is similar to "concat" in Clojure. I tried the following definition: (defn append [& parts] (concat parts)) but it is not quite correct: (concat '(a b c) '(d e f) '(g)) -> (a b c d e f g) (append '(a b c) '(d e f) '(g)) -> ((a b c) (d e f) (g)) What is the correct way to do this? Is it possible to code the idea that append == concat two ways, one explicitly defining a parameter list like "parts" and one just aliasing the concat symbol somehow? Also, is the following definition closer to the CL semantics? (use '[clojure.contrib.seq-utils :only (flatten)]) (defn append2 [& parts] (flatten (list parts))) (append2 '((a) b c) '(d e f) '() '(g)) -> (a b c d e f g) Finally, can anyone recommend a good free common lisp implementation that runs well with slime / emacs under Windows?
