This announcement is more of a call for suggestions (even pull requests if you are moved to do so) as there's not much to it yet, just enough to to demonstrate the concept for simpler transformations. I'm thinking of how best to go about supporting a wider range of sequence transformations.
https://github.com/rplevy/lambic https://clojars.org/lambic The basic idea is that languages like Prolog are very good at manipulating sequences "by example" based on pattern matching, and that using core.match this can become the norm for Clojure too (either using this library or some other I don't yet know about.) In Clojure, when you encounter data that matches pattern X and you want to systematically turn into data of the form Y, depending on how complex the structures are, you tend to start with some solution, change it around, and ultimately end up with a very elegant solution that is clearly the "best way". My present take on how to implement lambic is essentially to catalog these "best ways" for a number of different classes of sequence transformations, so that lambic knows what to do with them. What do you think of this idea? Is there a way to use logical magic (magical logic?) to do something better? ;) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
