Someone once mentioned that partials are more performant. i.e. (partial println "foo") is better than #(println "foo" %). I can't remember why, something about creating classes under the covers, I believe. Hopefully someone can chime in.
Personally, I used to use #(... %) due to it being less characters. I didn't really feel strongly about it, and once someone mentioned that partial was 'better' I switched. However, 'partial' is a bit long, so I always (def % partial) - and my code ends up looking like (% println "foo") Cheers, Jay On Wed, May 16, 2012 at 1:57 PM, Murtaza Husain < murtaza.hus...@sevenolives.com> wrote: > Hi, > > What is the idiomatic use of partial.
