I'm sure these libraries do the job better, but just for interest, here is a fun example of using finger-trees to maintain stats for a collection as it gets updated: https://gist.github.com/672592 -- Dave -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure

I would be very interested to learn which kind of practical problems these engines can solve? Any real-world examples would help me understand the benefit of this approach. Many greetings John Am Samstag, 2. Februar 2013 07:44:25 UTC+1 schrieb AtKaaZ: > > seems a bit similar to https://github.c

ReadyForZero is open-sourcing our library for easily gathering data and computing summary measures in a declarative way: https://github.com/ReadyForZero/babbage The summary measure functionality allows you to compute multiple measures over arbitrary partitions of your input data simultaneously an
