Re: OK idea to replace conj and cons with "prepend" and "append" macros that have consistent behavior and return same types as args?

FWIW, the same is true for the inverse operation.  If you pop an item off a list you’ll get the list, less the item you conj’d. Same is true with a vector.  --- Joe R. Smith j...@uwcreations.com @solussd On Jul 16, 2018, at 4:31 PM, Alex Miller mailto:a...@pureda

Re: OK idea to replace conj and cons with "prepend" and "append" macros that have consistent behavior and return same types as args?

Another way to think about it is lists and vectors are different and the idiomatic way to add items to them is different. A (singly-linked) list is usually prepended to (otherwise you have to walk the entire list to find the end). A vector is usually added to at it’s n+1 index, where n is the si

OK idea to replace conj and cons with "prepend" and "append" macros that have consistent behavior and return same types as args?

I'm impressed with Clojure syntax and I'm still a beginner. I noticed conj behaves differently for lists and vectors. I also noticed cons does not return a vector for a vector input. Is there any downside to make 2 macros...prepend and append that behave the same for lists and vectors, and als
