Wrexsoul, please mate, these are good guys. Remember the beauty and
tradition of the language you're learning. It's a lisp and gives you
the power to effortlessly create almost any abstraction you can
imagine. Not being convinced of the beauty of this, open you mind a
bit and humble yourself some

I often end up reading through /api to find what I want, but "Clojure
Categorized" might be a much faster way to do it:

I don't know if it's kept up-to-dat

Finding the right function in the doc admittedly takes a little
practice. I've learned gradually, that Clojure pretty much has all its
bases covered though. You just need to find the function. And this
forum is filled with very helpful and friendly people, who will tell
you the function name, if y
I only knew about map, apply, and reduce from studying haskell in uni.
I've not heard of 'reduce' referred to as 'accum', but then again when
I wanted to determine the number of elements in a seq, I kept
searching for 'length' and 'size' but didn
There's prebuilt SNAPSHOT releases available in Howard's Tapestry repository
- been using them happily from my maven based clojure app for awhile.
Thou an official 1.0 stamped release in maven central (along with
clojure-lang) would be most welcome.

I am not sure if a pre-built clojure-contrib.jar is available.
You could consider building
I SPECIFICALLY did a search of the entire api docs to see if there was
anything like "accum" already in there. I examined every occurrence of
"seq" and turned up a blank.
The docs definitely have problems if this can be missed despite a very
thorough search. The only more

I'm shocked that this is missing from clojure.core:
(defn accum [f init coll]
(loop [x init c coll]
(if (empty? c)
x
(recur (f x (first c)) (rest c)
user=> (accum + 0 [1 2 3])
6
user=> (accum + 0 [1 2 3 4 5])
15
