I think that paper is from 2015. Curious to hear what are people's thoughts as
to why it didn't replace Clojure's HAMT. I wouldn't mind a free 3x performance
boost and a reduced memory footprint. Is it just a matter of didn't have
someone doing the work, or did it turn out that there was issues
Specter supercharges your ability to query and manipulate regular Clojure
data structures. https://github.com/nathanmarz/specter
1.0.3 includes navigators for navigating to the index of an element in a
sequence, a so far unexplored area of the problem space. Some examples of
the new functionali
It came up today in the Clojurian's Slack mailing list, and it sounds like
the gist is that the papers did a bit of a apples-to-oranges comparison by
using a different hashing algorithm when comparing CHAMP to Clojure's
hashmaps. Once this difference is rectified the performance improvements
are mu
First of all, Clojure, core.async, spec, the whole of what you guys produce
is fabulous. I have nothing but respect for the work you're all doing.
It's Clojure's simple design that has me enjoying programming more than
ever.
That said, I'd like to add a new perspective to the discussion Mark
- Nothing earth-shattering, but I believe that many, perhaps all of you
will enjoy taking a peek at an exploration of *blending the functional
programming style with object-orientation*.
- Plenty of reference to Clojure, Lisp, and Scala.
- You can read at your leisure by visiting: When Object Ori
A related but slightly different issue: is prefer-method supposed to be
transitive?
That is, (prefer-method f a b) and (prefer-method f b c) implies
(prefer-method f a c)?
Here is a unit test that checks for transitivity (which fails in Clojure
1.8.0):

It seems that Clojure's hashing and in particular equality semantics are
relatively expensive, and this accounts for most of the performance
difference.
Back in the day, I used to use Natural Docs to build great docs for my
projects. There's a new version out, and the author of the project is
asking people about what languages to support. I encourage you to upvote
the Clojure suggestion:
