I actually asked Nathan about a somewhat similar problem recently and he
told me that making Specter support operations on multiple data structures
would require a significant overhaul. Cases like this do seem quite common
to me, though, so if there's a critical mass of interest I'd be willing t
tbc++, lvh, I'm not surprised that Specter doesn't help. That seems
reasonable. Although I have come up against Specter's limits, I've been
surprised at what it can do, so as a non-expert I tend to err on the side
of thinking that it might help if I don't know that it can't.

Not to speak for Nathan, but I asked in #specter and he indicated it's unlikely
to help, which I imagine is primarily for the reason Tim mentioned :)
(It bears repeating though: I was wrong about specter. It's awesome and Nathan
is incredibly helpful.)

Can Specter walk two sequences in lock-step? That's what's needed for a
good diffing engine, and that seems quite far removed from Specter's
design.

This might be a job for which Specter is particularly useful. You might have
to dive pretty deep into it, but if you get stuck, the creator Nathan Marz is
often very helpful.

I've gotten really fast diffing in Clojure by using the following concepts:
1) If you can sometimes make parts of A and B be identical, then your
differ can skip checking those parts by doing a (identical? A B), this
improves performance
2) Take a side effecting approach, pass into the differ a fu
Hi,
I have two deeply nested data structures (consisting of maps, vecs and the
occasional seq; althoguh I can make it maps and vecs consistently if need
be). I want to compute (and store) diffs; ideally diffs that store [path
oldval newval] so that I can apply them in either direction.
Using clo
