I too can only recommend to make use of this great opportunity. Many thanks to Ulises who helped to find a way with a problem I have always struggled with, namely the shape of the data you are working with is not visible and it is thus easy to make errors which are hard to troubleshoot. I have recorded the ideas with an example in the blog post Clojure: How To Prevent “Expected Map, Got Vector” And Similar Errors<http://theholyjava.wordpress.com/2014/04/30/clojure-how-to-prevent-expected-map-got-vector-and-similar-errors/> .
I am looking forward to talking to Ulises again in the future to review the effect of applying the ideas in practice. On Thursday, April 10, 2014 2:53:26 PM UTC+2, Leif wrote: > > Hi, everybody.
