Re: Just found out about Elixirs function argument pattern matching...

defun, core.match, tagged vectors - seems like I can emulate Elixir function pattern match behaviour. I took some simple code I found online (https://twitter.com/Xzilend/status/640282621042233344) and rewrote it to 1) use only tagged vectors (not quite) and 2) use defun and tagged vectors. I am

Re: Just found out about Elixirs function argument pattern matching...

In Elixir, tuples are used where in the first element is the tag. A similar thing can be done in Clojure using vectors. That much was clear. What bothered me and prompted me to start this thread was I wasn't sure "what" it is I was doing by creating that vector. Was it purely a convention thing

Re: Just found out about Elixirs function argument pattern matching...

>> Thanks, it helps to know using a tagged vector is a real pattern :) I don't know that it's a "real pattern". If I saw code like this in production I would probably raise quite a stink about it during code reviews. It's a cute hack, but it is also an abuse of a data structure. Now when I see [:f

Re: midje only 1 test

I *strongly* recommend doing all your testing in a repl buffer. That given, there are two ways to solve your problem. The first, which I prefer, is to start by testing everything: (use 'midje.repl) (autotest) Then, when you change any text and save the namespace it's in, all tests tha

Re: Just found out about Elixirs function argument pattern matching...

Out of interest, I ran the benchmarks as is, and got more or less the same results - 15x. Then I tried upgrading the defun dependencies - clojure, core.match and tools.macro - all of which have newer versions, and then running the benchmarks without leiningen’s jvm-opts and in a trampolined repl

Re: supporting metadata caret reader syntax with deftype

I think Artur described it well. I don't think the docs are wrong. The thing is just understanding that the reader macro syntax is interpreted by the reader. The reader comes before the evaluation of the compiler (there is grey area here with read-eval but that's another topic). Since a symbol

Re: supporting metadata caret reader syntax with deftype

I had the same issue a couple of months ago. The thing to understand is that 'a is NOT a symbol. Actually, it evaluates to a symbol, which is a different thing. When you write ^{:a 1} 'a, it is the same as writing ^{:a 1} (quote a). So the metadata gets applied to the entire form, not the symbol.

Re: Just found out about Elixirs function argument pattern matching...

Nice. Hadn't heard of it before. It looks interesting. The criterium benchmark is kinda disappointing though. The pattern matched function took nearly 15x the time of the normal function. Performance aside, in Elixir, there seems to be an established convention for creating the function argumen

Just found out about Elixirs function argument pattern matching...

Hi, I just read a blog post [1] talking about Elixir pattern matching. I was thoroughly impressed with the way its handled in Elixir. I am posting this here cuz I got rather excited and wanted to discuss this with you all. My experience with pattern matching is limited to the basics of F# and
