You could have some text you wish to render as code, which doesn't relate
to a var but by coincidence happens to have the same name. For instance,
you might have a docstring that references the SQL `update` command, which
has the same name as a function in clojure.core. To my mind it's better to
be explicit about what you want to link.

You will likely find that (throw (js/String. "a str")) will work the
same in both.

This issue has two parts:

1. String literals are somehow not objects or something in javascript (I
don't entirely understand this, but I vaguely recall that it is a thing)

2. The go macro uses js/Object as the exception type in the "catch all"
exception handler it creates to emulate exception handling.

You can verify that the combination of these two things causes this
problem by playing with this code:

(try (throw "foo") (catch js/Object e :good))

(try (throw (js/String. "foo")) (catch js/Object e :good))

(try (throw "foo") (catch :default e :good))

The "Fix" for the issue you linked didn't change "js/Object" to
":default" in the catch all, so it didn't actually fix anything.

Re: Clojure docstring style

2016-05-15 Thread Christopher Small 

Seems like this shouldn't be a problem as long as you only try to render a 
link if there's actually such a var. This might be a little messier, but 
would make things (overall) nicer (I think) because you wouldn't have to 
think about a separate bit of syntax. The rendering would just happen 
differently depending on whether or not there was something to link to. I 
already do markdown in most of my docstrings anyway, and I'd prefer not 
having to rewrite a bunch of docstrings to take advantage of such a 
feature; I'm sure there are others with me as well :-)

This arguably violates least-surprise / separation of concerns, but in my 
opinion not so significantly that the costs outweigh the benefits (again, 
as long as you only tried to link if you knew it was a var).

My 2 cents...

Chris

Re: Clojure docstring style

2016-05-15 Thread James Reeves 
If the docstrings are written in markdown, this would conflict as something
in backticks isn't necessarily a var name.

In Codox, I used the wiki-link style: [[clojure.core/map]].

Clojure docstring style

2016-05-15 Thread cskksc 
Hello,
We are working on a new feature in CIDER which would parse a docstring and 
create hyperlinks that follow the functions/vars/interop-forms mentioned 
there.
It is very similar to the "See Also" links shown by ClojureDocs 
. Right now, we are using backticks to identify 
the reference forms and create links.

So a function like;

(defn test-mde
  "Does something with `user-ns/user-fn`.
   Also see: `clojure.core/map`, `clojure.core/reduce`, `defn`"
  []
  (+ 1 1))

would create hyperlinks for map, reduce, defn and user-ns/user-fn forms.

What style do you tend to use in such docstrings ?
It would help us figure out whether to continue with the backticks or do 
something else, like adding a configuration variable for this.

Thanks,
Chaitanya

Re: Why do transducers on channels need buffer size of at least 1?

2016-05-15 Thread Alex Miller 
(chan 0) is not actually valid (should just be (chan)) - I have a ticket to 
error on this more visibly.
http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/ASYNC-143

Trasducers may produce more than one value (per things like the mapcat 
transducer) and thus a buffer is required so that there is somewhere to put 
those values when they are produced. This is mentioned in the docstring for 
chan:
http://clojure.github.io/core.async/#clojure.core.async/chan

"If a transducer is supplied a buffer must be specified."

Why do transducers on channels need buffer size of at least 1?

2016-05-15 Thread JvJ 

I don't have much experience with core.async, and I recently tried using 
channels with transducers.  Strangely, I found that you need a buffer with 
a size
of at least one in order for the transducer to be applied.

I have a few toy functions:

(defn push-nums
  "Push a few numbers on a channel."
  [n c]
  (go (loop [i 0]
(when (< i n)
  (>! c i)
  (recur (inc i
  (>! c :end)))

(defn print-nums
  "Take the numbers from the channel and print them."
  [c]
  (go
(loop []
(let [n ( A num:  0
;=> A num:  1
;=> A num:  2
;=> A num:  3
;=> A num:  4
;=> Finished with nums!!

(let [c (chan 1 (map inc))] (push-nums 5 c) (print-nums c))
;=> A num:  1
;=> A num:  2
;=> A num:  3
;=> A num:  4
;=> A num:  5


 The transducer only gets applied when the argument 1 is passed in.  I 
assume this is by design, but I don't like the fact that
using transducers effectively limits certain options with channels.

Does anyone know if there's a type of buffer that can be used to get around 
this?
