Morning. We seem to have blue skies again ☀️

looks like it will be ☀️ in Dundee this morning

hmmm sounds like I need to move to blighty if I want nice weather 😉

morning!

Has anyone ever had memory leak issues with loop/recur?

I’ve got some long running loop/recurs, and I’m wondering about rewriting them as whiles or something. I’m currently watching the memory usage climb and waiting for an OOM Error.

while is just a macro over loop/recur

and loop/recur don’t memory leak, whatever you’re doing in your loop might be leaking

hmmm… can’t see it. (yet)

Hmmm… No sun over here in the West, but at least the snow and the melt-floods are all behind us now… 😉

Morning Everyone 🙂 ☕

I’ve managed to crash JVisualVM with an OOM Error now… 😞

@maleghast you will live in rainy and dramatic Scotland

sunny, but a a bit less dramatic this way

Yeah, there is a level of natural grandeur that we are paying for with this bad weather, @otfrom 😉

CLojure question..... I have a map where one of the values is a keyword... and based on that keyword I want to call a certain function.... keyword and function name happen to be the same ( ie. :connect has to call (connect ...) what is the best way to do this?

I had at first a cond for each keyword... but then I thought why not turn the keyword in to a symbol and call that... but that doesn't quite work unfortunately.

probably best to have another map from keyword to fn

ooh.. I like that.

thank you @sundarj that seems to do the trick... and it is a one liner... (and a map with 15 entries)

TIL case does not work with functions as the expression/test-constants

case only works with constants

Are functions not constant?

no, you can’t embed a function as a constant object

“They must be compile-time literals” according to docs

yes

what do you mean by “a constant object” here?

what the docstring you cited says, I was just using different words

okay
