Pune Clojure Course Outline
- 3. Programming Language Nerd Co-founder & CTO, Infinitely Beta Clojure programmer since the early days Curator of Planet Clojure Author of “Clojure in Practice” (ETA Sep, 2011)
- 4. History Metadata Data Structures Java Inter-op Syntax Concurrency Functions Multi-methods Sequences Macros Namespaces Clojure Contrib
- 5. Created by Rich Hickey in 2007 Open Sourced in 2008 First large deployment in Jan, 2009 Second in Apr, same year We’ve come a long way since then!
- 6. Programming languages OO is overrated haven’t really changed much Polymorphism is good Creating large-scale, Multi-core is the future concurrent software is still hard VMs are the next-gen platforms Functional Programming rocks Ecosystem matters Lisp is super power Dynamic development
- 7. Numbers 1 3.14 22/7 Characters a b c Booleans true false Comments ;; Ignore Strings “foobar” Nothing nil Symbols thisfn Keywords :this :that RegEx Patterns #“[a-‐zA-‐ Z0-‐9]+”
- 8. Lists (1 2 3) (list “foo” “bar” “baz”) Vectors [1 2 3] (vector “foo” “bar” “baz”) Maps {:x 1, :y 2} (hash-‐map :foo 1 :bar 2) Sets #{a e i o u} (hash-‐set “cat” “dog”)
- 9. There is no other syntax! Data structures are the code No other text based syntax, only different interpretations Everything is an expression (s-exp) All data literals stand for themselves, except symbols & lists
- 10. Function calls (function arguments*) (def hello (fn [] “Hello, world!”)) -‐> #’user/hello (hello) -‐> “Hello, world!” (defn hello ([] (hello “world”)) ([name] (str “Hello, ” name “!”)))
- 11. “It is better to have 100 functions operate on one data structure than 10 functions on 10 data-structures.” Alan J. Perlis
- 12. An abstraction over traditional Lisp lists Provides an uniform way of walking through different data-structures Sample sequence functions seq first rest filter remove for partition reverse sort map reduce doseq
- 13. Analogous to Java packages, but with added dynamism A mapping of symbols to actual vars/classes Can be queried and modified dynamically Usually manipulated via the ns macro
- 14. Data about data Can annotate any symbol or collection Mainly used by developers to mark data structures with some special information Clojure itself uses it heavily (def x (with-‐meta {:x 1} {:source :provider-‐1})) -‐> #’user/x (meta x) -‐> {:source :provider-‐1}
- 15. Wrapper free interface to Java Syntactic sugar makes calling Java easy & readable Core Clojure abstractions are Java interfaces (will change) Clojure functions implement Callable & Runnable Clojure sequence lib works with Java iterables Near native speed
- 16. (ClassName. args*) (instanceMember instance args*) (ClassName/staticMethod args*) ClassName/STATIC_FIELD (.toUpperCase “clojure”) -‐> “CLOJURE” (System/getProperty “java.vm.version”) -‐> “16.3-‐b01-‐279” Math/PI -‐> 3.14… (.. System (getProperties) (get “os.name”)) -‐> “Mac OS X”
- 17. A technique of doing structural binding in a function arg list or let binding (defn list-‐xyz [xyz-‐map] (list (:x xyz-‐map) (:y xyz-‐map) (:z xyz-‐map))) (list-‐xyz {:x 1, :y 2 :z 3}) -‐> (1 2 3)
- 18. // From Apache Commons Lang, http://commons.apache.org/lang/ public static int indexOfAny(String str, char[] searchChars) { if (isEmpty(str) || ArrayUtils.isEmpty(searchChars)) { return -‐1; } for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) { char ch = str.charAt(i); for (int j = 0; j < searchChars.length; j++) { if (searchChars[j] == ch) { return i; } } } return -‐1; }
- 19. (defn indexed [coll] (map vector (iterate inc 0) coll))
- 20. (defn indexed [coll] (map vector (iterate inc 0) coll)) (defn index-‐filter [pred coll] (for [[idx elt] (indexed coll) :when (pred elt)] idx))
- 21. (defn indexed [coll] (map vector (iterate inc 0) coll)) (defn index-‐filter [pred coll] (when pred (for [[idx elt] (indexed coll) :when (pred elt)] idx))) (index-‐filter #{a e i o o} "The quick brown fox") -‐> (2 6 12 17) (index-‐filter #(> (.length %) 3) ["The" "quick" "brown" "fox"]) -‐> (1 2)
- 22. for doseq if cond condp partition loop recur str map reduce filter defmacro apply comp complement defstruct drop drop-‐last drop-‐while format iterate juxt map mapcat memoize merge partial partition partition-‐all re-‐seq reductions reduce remove repeat repeatedly zipmap
- 23. Simultaneous execution Avoid reading; yielding inconsistent data Synchronous Asynchronous Coordinated ref Independent atom agent Unshared var
- 24. Generalised indirect dispatch Dispatch on an arbitrary function of the arguments Call sequence Call dispatch function on args to get dispatch value Find method associated with dispatch value Else call default method Else error
- 25. Encapsulation through closures Polymorphism through multi-methods Inheritance through duck-typing (defmulti interest :type) (defmethod interest :checking [a] 0) (defmethod interest :savings [a] 0.05) (defmulti service-‐charge (fn [acct] [(account-‐level acct) (:tag acct)])) (defmethod service-‐charge [::Basic ::Checking] [_] 25) (defmethod service-‐charge [::Basic ::Savings] [_] 10) (defmethod service-‐charge [::Premium ::Checking] [_] 0) (defmethod service-‐charge [::Premium ::Savings] [_] 0)
- 26. A facility to extend the compiler with user code Used to define syntactic constructs which would otherwise require primitives/built-in support (try-‐or (/ 1 0) (reduce + [1 2 3 4]) (partition (range 10) 2) (map + [1 2 3 4]))
