Hi all, It occurred to me that Clojure has a huge core namespace. While OO languages like Python and Java stuff functions into modules and objects and have a core of a few dozen functions, Clojure's core contains everything you might need for most tasks, but has over 400 functions in core, with no easy way to navigate them.
To solve this problem I'm writing a decision tree to interactively find the function you need by doing sort of a 20 questions game. With some closure and higher-order function magic I was able to create a function to express this tree in code easily, by supplying a question, a predicate and 2 possible followup questions. https://github.com/pepijndevos/clj-fneeid/blob/master/src/fneeid.clj The problem is to come up with sensible questions to ask. Even after doing Clojure for quite a while I don't even know half of clojure.core, let alone being able to categorize all functions with sensible questions. This is what I have so far. It would be awesome if you could suggest me some good questions, kill the crappy ones, or maybe even come up with creative introspection predicates, or sets of fns that fit a question. https://gist.github.com/670725.
