Ep 077: Thread Some

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: "some-> and some->>." We spend some time going through how these macros help keep our code nil-safe.

Selected quotes:

• "Keep trying till you hit a nil and then stop."
• "That seemed all well and good, and then I hit nil."
• "It ends up being just a bit more concise."
• "A nice way of testing something and then being able to use it right away."
