Clojurians Log v2

A discussion I had today (elsewhere) made me wonder if I could make the quoted symbolic form of HoneySQL queries easier to use. You can write '{select * from users where (= status "approved")} today and it formats the same as the (longer) keyword version: {:select :* :from :users :where [:= :status "approved"]} -- but it's hard to use variables/parameters with the quoted form, compared to the keyword form. Sure, you can use ?name and then provide an options hash map with {:params {:name "whatever"}} but that's quite a bit of extra typing. I figured it might be nicer to have something like (sql/formatf '{select * from users where (= username ?1)} "whatever") and have it "do the right thing", i.e., construct an appropriate {:params {...}} hash map for you. I created https://github.com/seancorfield/honeysql/issues/495 for feedback/discussion and implemented a basic version of formatf, currently undocumented. You can try it out via the latest develop SHA on GitHub or as a snapshot version 2.4.9999-SNAPSHOT I guess there are two questions: • Is this actually useful enough to add at all? • How would folks expect/want to see options being passed into a variadic function like that and how/would you care about parameters that are hash maps potentially conflicting with an options hash map? The latter Q is in the issue.
