the transducer version doesn't create a lazy-seq, the non-transducing version does create one. in both cases a vector is returned and any intermediate allocations are just gc churn.

by "strictly needed" I meant that you don't need the lazy-seq in order to build the vector. remove creates one anyway. clojure isn't the kind of "smart compiler" that other languages offer, it is actually quite naiive in terms of translating your code structure, and relies on jvm hotspot for most optimization.

remove creates a vector or did you meant mapv?

"`remove` creates one anyway" -- "one" = "lazy-seq" here, not "vector".

ah gotcha

ok, how I understand the Because transducers are decoupled from input or output sources, they can be used in many different processes - collections, streams, channels, observables part

its primary usecase

was core.async modified to accept transducers?

yes, and the original versions of map, filter etc. in core.async were deprecated

Welcome @U02US0AS16K! Clojure is a fantastic language and ecosystem, and the community is top notch. You've found a great place to ask questions and learn! There are now over a dozen Clojure books out there, I think each member here will have their own recommendations. I personally love "The Joy of Clojure" as a thorough primer. Then, you will want to start working on your own project right away. That will be most satisfying and the best way to learn. As far as your project goes: my recommendation is 1. use Ring with Compojure or Pedestal for the back-end server. 2. Use tonsky/rum (Rum) with Shadowcljs to take clojurescript and output reactive html (single page application / clientside). 3. Use rum on the backend server as well to generate static HTML that you can hydrate 4. You achieve homoiconicity or isomorphic data between server (.clj) and client (.cljs) by using .cljc files w/ reader conditionals that can selectively return clojure or clojurescript depending on invoking context/namespace. 5. Tie datomic in to your backend server that is running pedestal or ring with compojure. 6. Ask questions and answer questions of other beginners 😄

Sova’s answer is pretty good. I’d just like to add that IMO you shouldn’t spend too much time doing AoC/exercism stuff or else you’ll probably just get bored quickly. There are a few paid courses by Jacek Schae that could help you on this route, but if you’re not willing to pay for courses right now I’d just start by creating a simple Compojure/Reitit app and learning it’s basics. As soon as you’re able to build a server and handle the requests you can probably throw datomic into the mix. There are a number of resources to learn datomic and datalog: • a website learn called datalog today • datascript’s documentation • datomic’s documentation • many blog posts you can find googling There is also Luminus, which is a a web framework that should get you up and running quite fast. The framework’s author has written a book called Web development with Clojure, which talks about most stuff you’re looking for (except for datomic iirc) If you’re looking to build your client’s as SPAs I’d also talke a look at Reagent and Re-frame.

Thank you both for quick response, will do me best, and AoC didn't bore me at all, it was actually fun but required time for me to solve one task has gone up and I ended up losing time (effectiveness), I hope that on next AoC i will be able to keep up. Cheers. 😄

https://practical.li/ has a range of free books on practical Clojure development, along with video guides, which you may find interesting

I found your study group on YT (aprox. 100 hours of video content ) and your books, that is by far most complete documentation about Clojure and Clojurescript that i found to this date. I will most certainly use it to learn as much as possible, thank you very much for that, keep up the good work. Cheers. 🙌

Thank you. I still have lots more to add 😁
