(defn some-func [{:keys [id name]}] (do-something id))

@mull do you know more about destructuring?

I don't quite get your question.

@urbanslug: so I’d like to destructure some keys of a map in the function, but I’d also like to have a reference to the full map

s/reference/local binding(?)

Oh yeah

I believe using as will work

[{:keys [id name]} as my-map]

I could be wrong with the syntax let me check.

Syntax check passed Thanks!

(also found this https://gist.github.com/john2x/e1dca953548bfdfb9844#shortcuts which seems to agree)

@mull anytime 😄

You don't even need the as nice

Hmm this seems to possibly work differently between let and defn

Yeah, :as is needed when dealing with arguments to a function. For let though, you have the map on the right hand side, which is the difference

(defn show [{:keys [slug lang] :as university}] (str university)) <— this isn’t quite right. Would you mind correcting this?

Looks fine to me

(show {:slug “bla” :lang “en” :something “else”)

Hm okay. REPLing

D’oh you’re right. Problem was further down in Hiccup land Thanks to both of y’all!

ok, so, i feel stupid for asking this question, but i'm not understanding something

if i have a function such as if, and i want it to simply return an integer if it evaluates to true, at runtime it complains about not being able to convert an Integer to an IFun ... which means i'm probably missing something... consider this code:

(if (= jobcount remaining)
      (jobcount)
      (wait-for-job-results queue-url (- jobcount remaining)))))

If you put something in parens, clojure will call it as a function. For example, if you try to evaluate (1) in the repl, it will throw the same error.

aha

so i should get rid of the parens

oh geez ofcourse i'm stupid

@lmergen: I'm quite sure I've made that mistake more than once. Don't feel too bad about it.

apparently, clojure gives me the need to add parens around everything, because otherwise things don't look right

right, similar to js in a sense, like eatFood() with the parens invokes the function, whereas eatFood refers to the value

but yeah, I make the same mistake all the time
