I'm trying to develop a hierarchy (of sorts) of protocols and I'm
coming at it in from a Java Perspective, which I fully understand
might be my problem. In Java, I would do something like this:
interace A {
public void aFoo();
}
interface B {
public void bFoo();
}
interfacece AB extends A, B {
public void abFoo();
}
Then, I could have some objects that implement A, or B or AB (for
both). I'm trying to accomplish something similar with protocols in
Clojure, but I don't see how to. I would have expected that I could
have done something like (extend-protocol AB A B) to accomplish this.
It seems, however that I have to provide a concrete implementation in
that case.
I see that there is "satsifies?" function which determines if an
instance meets a protocol. Then, to implement the protocol, we use
"extend-protocol". It seems that it would make sense to implement a
protocol with "satisfy-protocol" -- as extend-protocol does now...and
then to use "extend-protocol" to create a new protocol based upon a
simpler protocol.
Can anyone describe the correct approach for extending protocols?
Thanks!
