Hey guys, I’m looking for a book on design patterns. I found this one: Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software. Of course, it has OO in the title. Is it still useful for a young fledgling clojure dev? What do you guys recommend?

Alex Miller (Clojure team)00:03:51

Most of those patterns can be replaced in Clojure with just using a function

Alex Miller (Clojure team)00:03:22

So, not that useful imo

Thomas Tay01:03:09

Can recommend this talk, it got me interested in FP

Thomas Tay01:03:40

@c.westrom that book is still pretty useful to understand the patterns, but don't try to do it that way in Clojure. I have it and I refer to it occasionally for my day job using Typescript

sova-soars-the-sora02:03:08

@c.westrom I believe SICP Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is a classic

seancorfield02:03:07

Not really a "design patterns" book though... but good for FP if you haven't already read it.

seancorfield02:03:28

I like to point folks to this http://mishadoff.com/blog/clojure-design-patterns/ when they're asking about "classic" design patterns @c.westrom

I'm getting an error when I modify some code related to a deftype/defprotocol. It works on first load, but after modification, I get:

1. Unhandled java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
   No implementation of method: :as-map of protocol:
   #'com.owoga.tightly-packed-trie.core/ITrie found for class:
   com.owoga.tightly_packed_trie.core.Trie

          core_deftype.clj:  583  clojure.core/-cache-protocol-fn
          core_deftype.clj:  575  clojure.core/-cache-protocol-fn
I see the error coming from a -cache-protocol-fn. Is there some type of cache that needs to be cleared for deftype/defprotocol reloading in a REPL?

Eric Ihli03:03:09

^ Cancel! Realized I had a defonce instance of the thing I was refactoring... 😳

Sithabiso Makhathini08:03:45

anyone gone through the web-development-with-clojure book and had problems with chapter 5 replacing cljsbuild with shadow-cljs? Getting kicked hard right now

javahippie08:03:10

Which edition of the book do you have? Which errors do you get?

Sithabiso Makhathini09:03:43

I have the third edition. I have attached a screenshot of the errors

javahippie09:03:44

I see a typo in a namespace in the error:

Sithabiso Makhathini09:03:45

Sorry I just realized I was missing a "src/cljs" source path

Sithabiso Makhathini09:03:28

actually I still get the same error

Sithabiso Makhathini09:03:13

I see it not, sorry I managed to fix the typo and looks like I have a couple more issues

javahippie09:03:57

Oh, I meant’ “geustbook” instead of “guestbook”. Did the error messages change?

Sithabiso Makhathini09:03:55

Thank you so much I'm just getting warnings now that I am worried about

javahippie09:03:15

It seems like get-messages requires a parameter, and your code calls it without one

Sithabiso Makhathini10:03:04

I have "messages" as a parameter.

javahippie10:03:09

The error messages show different code. Maybe you have not saved the file?

Sithabiso Makhathini10:03:19

It is only when I remove the parameter that the warning goes away

javahippie10:03:45

Does the app work as expected, it’s just the warnings?

Sithabiso Makhathini10:03:21

Yes when I open the app on port 3000 is works just fine, I was just worried that the warnings have introduced an issue into the app. I am yet to open the app on port 7002

Sithabiso Makhathini11:03:19

hey sorted it out thank you so much

javahippie12:03:07

Good to hear 🙂 What did you change to sort it out?

Sithabiso Makhathini09:03:36

Hey so sorry for only getting back to you now, I had another typo, instead of rf/drispatch it should have been rf/dispatch and lastly I didn't need a namespace.

javahippie09:03:46

Thanks for your answer 🙂 For catching typos, I recommend using clj-kondo in your configuration, makes a huge difference 😉

Karo09:03:15

Hi team, how can I delete maps in vector? for example how can I delete a map if :name is "a" or "c" from given vector want to get

{:name "b" :age 23}
in the result.
[{:name "a" :age 32} {:name "b" :age 23} {:name "c" :age 23}]

jkxyz10:03:30

(vec (filter #(contains? #{"a" "c"} (:name %)) [{:name "a"} {:name "b"} {:name "c"}])) @vnazaryan

👍 3
Karo10:03:03

great thank you

noisesmith19:03:04

I'd write that as (into [] (filter (comp #{"a" "c"} :name)) [...])

noisesmith19:03:15

(does the same thing slightly faster and I find it clearer)

noisesmith19:03:03

oh, you need remove rather than filter if "b" is the only one you want (or change the set literal to #{"b"} )

jkxyz10:03:00

My bad 🙂 I misread the desired result. (comp #{,,,} :some-key) is a common pattern but I figured contains? is more explicit if you don’t know that sets and keywords can be used as fns

grazfather15:03:27

What’s a simple static file server in clojure? I want to move from local hosting my oz viz to exporting to html and server more widely (to my LAN)

vanelsas15:03:44

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but deployment to Heroku is pretty straightforward: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-clojure

sb15:03:51

I created with golang in the past.. https://github.com/damesek/golang-clojurescript if you have exported html/js version. Quite ok, I didn’t implement the ‘faster go http server’ (fasthttp) but you can shutdown the clojurescript process gracefully

grazfather18:03:55

Naw, I want to host on my raspberry pi. Basically my Pi is taking various measurements of sensors and shoving it in a DB. I use oz to display it, but it normally opens a websocket to the front end which is on localhost. I want to make a bit of a dashboard

sb18:03:38

You can compile to Raspberry PI with my solution, with To build it for the Raspberry Pi, we use: env GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm GOARM=7 go build. command. i think you could do with that, eg what you can with shadow-cljs. I updated a little bit the repo, maybe in this way could be helpful.

sb19:03:02

You can create w/ V8 cli apps too, or with Babashka/ Graalvm.

grazfather14:03:14

yeah there are tons of ways, I was actually already in the thread, but I figured I’d host within the same JVM process that I am using to collect the data. Looks like oz export needs node, though, so maybe I’ll just host with node

manutter5115:03:24

Honestly, for purely local, static stuff, it's hard to beat just typing python -m http.server <port> at the command line in the dir you want to publish. If you don't need to make API calls to a Clojure backend and are just serving static files, that's the route I'd go.

grazfather16:03:48

Yep, though I already willi have a clojure daemon running

afry16:03:50

One really cool thing I like about Clojure's built-in map function is that you can pass it multiple lists. As it maps through, it will take the nth item from each list and pass it to your function:

(def vector-one ["hello " "goodbye "])
(def vector-two ["friend" "buddy"])
(map (partial apply str) vector-one vector-two)
; -> ("hello friend" "goodbye buddy")
Does anyone have a good method for achieving this when the lists are "unbalanced"? For example:
(def vector-one ["hello " "goodbye "])
(def vector-two ["friend"])
(map (partial apply str) vector-one vector-two)
; -> ("hello friend" "goodbye friend")
I think there might be some murky things lurking underneath the surface of that idea which make it tricky to implement, but I'll put it out there anyway 🙂

Alex Miller (Clojure team)16:03:18

Use an infinite sequence of “friend” for vector-two

afry16:03:29

Here comes the next step in building up my "Clojure brain." Great suggestion, thank you!

Alex Miller (Clojure team)16:03:44

A common pattern for initializing maps is to zipmap finite keys with (repeat 0) or whatever the initial value is (similar idea)

Alex Miller (Clojure team)16:03:52

(def scores (zipmap [“Joe” “Anna”] (repeat 0)))

Alex Miller (Clojure team)16:03:04

map stops when it runs out of a seq input

danielneal16:03:16

What's the best way to do this sort of thing (first (for [i items j (expensive-fn i) :when (pred j)] j)) without computing expensive-fn unnecessarily due to chunking? Is there an unchunked version of for?

danielneal16:03:33

(imagine there's more layers to the for)

Alex Miller (Clojure team)16:03:52

If you want control, use loop recur

Alex Miller (Clojure team)16:03:59

In general, if you care about exactly how many things get evaluated, you should not be using lazy seqs

danielneal16:03:09

Fair point 🙂

danielneal16:03:16

for is just so nice and readable
