@crimeminister: the intention is that s/form will return you something serializable

(As Clojure data)

There are some known bugs with that that are in process

Also there will be specs for spec forms

Which you can conform to retrieve data

Sounds great, thank you @alexmiller

Sounds like that will serve admirably for what I need

is there a way to access the default gen when overriding a gen in s/spec?

I guess my question above is still reasonable, but I solved my problem by reading the docs and realising that the retag arg for a multi-spec can be a function

The only way to do it atm is to separate the spec into a var (or different registry spec) so you can refer to it

I’m trying to use :clojure.core.specs/arg-list to parse an arg list, but the clojure.spec/every of :clojure.core.specs/map-bindings means that I can’t fully destructure the arg-list with conform

is there a way to force the every to conform?

Not that I know of, @stathissideris. If you want that behavior you'll probably have to roll your own with clojure.spec/coll-of.

@zane thanks! I was hoping to use the “official” clojure spec to parse the args, but it looks like I’ll have to copy and modify it

That's what it looks like to me.

You could always just validate with clojure.spec/valid? and :clojure.core.specs/arg-list and then write your own transformation function.

my main use case is not validation, I’d like to extract the names of arguments (and be able to handle all cases of destructuring etc)
