Re: Keys in EDN maps: keywords or symbols

I think James talking about resolution of values when he said "designates", not "the value bound to a key in the map." In other words, the keyword :email resolves to the keyword :email, whereas the symbol clojure.core/vec resolves to a function. Keywords-as-keys give you some benefits when you'

Re: Keys in EDN maps: keywords or symbols

Regarding the idea that a keyword is an identifier that designates itself, while a symbol is a keyword that designates something else. Keys in config file map do not designate themselves, they designate the corresponding map values. {username "vasya" email "a@b.c"} Here the EMAIL symbo

Re: Keys in EDN maps: keywords or symbols

In edn, a keyword is an identifier that designates itself, while a symbol is a keyword that designates something else. This means keys in a map should generally be keywords, unless they identify something beyond themselves. For example: {:profiling/function-count {clojure.core/vec 10}} On Th

Re: Keys in EDN maps: keywords or symbols

My personal opinion is to prefer keywords, and prefer less preprocessing of the configuration before the program uses it. If it gets to a place where the configuration changes a lot, and a "natural" (read: clojure-like) expression of the configuration in EDN has either a lot of redundancy, or bits
