I have a situation where I need to run some code in a separate frame. I have to do this because some of the (external) code I use takes control of the page in a way I don't want - but does work I do want. I own the frame so I can call functions directly from the parent there. The same js code is loaded in to the parent and frame (can cache the file). A problem that I have run into is that keyword equality is no longer preserved with data passed across the frame boundary. I expect because of the deftype and some underlying comparison on objects from different contexts. (I looked at the data in the keyword objects and they appear the same). The issue really comes out in map lookups which obviously return nil. I can think of a few solutions to this but am looking for any input. Options: 1. don't use keywords in cross frame data. somewhat limiting and impacts data produced by libraries. 2. encode in the parent (e.g. transit) and decode in the frame. This works but incurs overhead just for keyword translation - that will increase with data size. (interestingly transit will throw an error if you try to encode or decode data from another frame - I got "error can't write"). 3. figure out a way to effectively execute code from the parent only (ensuring all keywords are from the same source) - maybe possible - but I think this can cause trouble with DOM element creation in some cases - I ran into something here a long time ago. It may also mean that the working environment/context of the code is possibly harder to manage/reason about. 4. fix in cljs - but would probably result in slower general keyword comparison. (this may not be a generally applied thing - but might be a compiler option - for those special cases). If js workers ever allow passing of objects and not only strings - this might impact there also. Any thoughts welcome.
