[CLJ-1094] Zero-arity versions of every-pred and some-fn

Thu, 25 Oct 2012 07:12:35 -0500

This patch adds zero-arity versions of every-pred and some-fn with these semantics.

(every-pred) === (constantly true)
(some-fn)    === (constantly nil)

These variants are useful in situations like the following:

;; compute-preds-for may return zero or many predicate fns
(let [preds (compute-preds-for something)]
  (filter (apply every-pred preds) some-coll))

[CLJ-990] Implement clojure.core.reducers/mapcat and some initial reducers tests

Fri, 1 Mar 2013 09:49:21 -0600

The first patch implements a reducers equivalent of clojure.core/mapcat, and the second patch adds a new reducers.clj to the clojure tests that checks that map, mapcat, filter, and reduce are equivalent in clojure.core and clojure.core.reducers.

[CLJ-982] Implement an interface? predicate to balance class?

Sat, 9 Jun 2012 09:08:46 -0500

clojure.core implements a class? predicate to detect if a thing is an instance of java.lang.Class. The attached patch implements interface? to further distinguish classes that are also interfaces. This gives us Clojure api for e.g., enumerating all interfaces a thing's base class implements; as in, (filter #(interface? %) (supers (class my-thing))).

[CLJ-964] test-clojure/rt.clj has undeclared dependency on clojure.set

Sat, 18 Aug 2012 07:12:53 -0500

In test-clojure/rt.clj, the test last-var-wins-for-core evaluates #'clojure.set/subset?. This fails unless clojure.set has been loaded. In the normal run of the test suite, this dependency is satisfied by test-clojure/core-set being loaded first.

[CLJ-879] Allow :require to support a :refer clause

Fri, 17 Feb 2012 14:18:28 -0600

There's been discussion previously about the complexity of the ns
macro. In particular the fact that :use causes all vars to be referred
by default is widely seen as unfortunate, and the distinction between
use and require is a source of conceptual overhead for people new to
the language.

We can't change the fact that :use refers everything by default
without breaking lots of existing code. But it would be possible to
enhance :require to support referring specified vars, leaving us free
to deprecate or otherwise discourage the use of :use.
