Excellent. There was a time where even our dear @dnolen was a neophyte. Code live, code loud, code earnest. It’s the best way.

dancrumb: I'd like to get #C0M8PCF7U going, but lately I haven't had much time to devote to it. But the author is there

thanks!

nice work @dancrumb

So, trying to get my head around this little snippet:

(defn foo 
  [word words]
  (remove #{word} [words])
  words)

(foo "a" ["a" "b" "c"]) 

It returns ["a "b" "c"]

why not ["b" "c"]?

It looks like the last statement is words. So that’s what’ll get returned.

Yus, if I remove words, it returns (("a" "b" "c"))

Which I suspect, it's returning the function

so words (I think) returns just the data structure

words is already an array. I don’t think you need to re wrap it in the remove statement.

ooh

bingo

Nice.

🙏

👏

(defn foo 
  [word words]
  (remove #{word} words))

(foo "a" ["a" "b" "c"])  

["b" "c"]

the key thing to remember is that (remove) doesn’t mutate words

it returns a collection that is the result of its operation on the collection words

That's helpful to know. Thank you.

hi guys, do you recommend cemerick/friend for authentication?

Last night, i was introduced to Buddy

which is based upon bouncycastle

I got the impression that it was favoured over Friend.

(then, as a side note, introduced to https://jwt.io/)

oh I see, thanks. Will take a look at Buddy.

you're welcome.

I'm confused right now if I will need to use an authentication library or just use a simple login by just using cookies.

do you recommend it? I'm just new in clojure, want to know the best practices

Oh, I'm totally new to Clojure, so I would not be the best person to ask.

oh I see, I'll just leave my question here and hope someone will answer. Anyway, thanks!
