Re: Attractive examples of function-generating functions

I don't have my own examples, anyway being a daily object-oriented programmer I'm feeling compelled to say that where "function-generating functions" prove their main practical power is in what I'd label "man in the middle functions". Whenever I need to add behaviour to an existing OO method I hav

I think enlives transformersare a very good example of functions returning functions. Maybe you should have a look at the getting started guide and the tutorials Send from Android Am 09.08.2012 23:13 schrieb "Jonah Benton" : > You've probably seen these, but if not, Doug Crockford's video series >

While admittedly neat, and educational, this kind of code is fancy for production use in my opinion: (defn make-point [x y] (fn [member] (cond (= member :x) x (= member :y) y))) On Fri, Aug 10, 2012 at 6:06 PM, Jonas wrote: > How about the new reducers library: > > > http://c

How about the new reducers library: http://clojure.com/blog/2012/05/08/reducers-a-library-and-model-for-collection-processing.html http://clojure.com/blog/2012/05/15/anatomy-of-reducer.html Jonas On Wednesday, August 8, 2012 7:48:23 PM UTC+3, Brian Marick wrote: > > I'm looking for medium-scale

Re: Attractive examples of function-generating functions

You've probably seen these, but if not, Doug Crockford's video series on javascript walks through a number of interesting information sharing examples like the ones you're looking for using fn-generating-fns- http://yuiblog.com/crockford/ They're all great but "act 3 - function the ultimate" is e

I use quite a few of these in my Overtone rendering of Bach : ; Defining a scale function from intervals (defn sum-n [series n] (reduce + (take n series))) (defn scale [intervals] (fn [degree] (if-not (neg? degree) (sum-n (

Re: Attractive examples of function-generating functions

Maybe SICP's simulator of digital circuits will provide some inspiration. I know when I read this I was deeply awed by what HOFs can do. Maybe Clojure's zippers would be good too? On Wednesday, August 8, 2012 12:48:23 PM UTC-4, Brian Marick wrote: > > I'm looking for medium-scale examples of usi
