Functional Design in Clojure

Ep 054: The Forest in the Trees

22 min • 8 november 2019

Each week, we discuss a different topic about Clojure and functional programming.

If you have a question or topic you'd like us to discuss, tweet @clojuredesign, send an email to [email protected], or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.

This week, the topic is: "Working with heavily nested trees." We discuss three powerful libraries (Specter, Spectacles, and clojure.walk) and where they might fit into our Clojure programs.

Selected quotes:

  • "Tree manipulation is like surgery, you need to get down to the right level before you start making changes."
  • "I've seen people come up with novel and interesting solutions to problems that other people just don't have."
  • "Spec is a structural type checker, instead of a name-based type checker, which is far more useful."
  • "Every time you reach for a tool, you're inviting its complexity into your project."
  • "The structure of your data will lead you toward a particular tool."
