So I understand that Clojure's data structures are immutable but I am not clear how that works with MVC.
So I have a view that displays a model. Other processes change that model and the View presents those changes. However it's not clear to me how that would work with an immutable model. Obviously I can't pass the model into the View, have the view store a reference to it and each time it's called on to render the model, do so. The model is immutable. So I could have a global variable which points to the model, and whenever I 'change' the model I re-point it to the updated version. Obviously the view would have to reference that global. This just smells bad. And would get worse for each model and view you needed in your application. I suppose you could maintain some global map of models, but that doesn't look nice either, it's not that much different from having a pile of global models. This must be a solved problem surely? Could someone point me to the solution please? Swing or Quil based would be fine but I assume it must be generally applicable. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
