6:27 hoeck: hi, does anyone know what happened to `set' ?
6:27 i mean, (set ref val)?
6:29 ahh, found it, its called ref-set now
11:33 rhickey_: Lunchtime think-tank talk on sequences: http://
15:08 Chouser: rhickey_: any initial reaction to the talk about regex reader changes?
15:13 rhickey_: just reading right now - my inclination is just to disable treatment of \ as an escape in regex literals except for \"
15:19 la_mer: rhickey: those blip shows are great, BTW
15:21 rhickey_: they're unscripted, from talks we do at lunch, but I'm glad they help
15:27 Chouser: sounds like an interesting group
15:31 rhickey_: yeah, we take turns doing talks about interesting ideas/tools - I always talk about Clojure and/or the underlying concepts
15:31 Hope to get around to STM, agents etc
16:01 Chouser: is apply lazy?
16:01 It could only be for & args, right?
16:04 rhickey_: (apply (fn [a b & c] [a b (first c)]) (repeat 42))
16:04 [42 42 42]
16:04 I'm not sure calling it lazy is quite right though
16:05 Chouser: very cool. I had assumed it would consume all params before calling the fn, since it would have to for the named args.
16:05 rhickey_: it doesn't consume the arguments
16:05 Chouser: ...until I saw in your latest video the implementation of mapcat
16:07 rhickey_: apply is very efficient in passing the rest around without repackaging or examining it any more than needed to match the positional params
16:15 Chouser: very cool
17:24 albino: The rest of the people don't sound like they've done much with lisp based on the questions
17:29 rhickey_: right - Java/C# crowd
19:39 Chouser: using an unsupported escape char in the REPL seems to confuse it quite a bit
19:39 rhickey_: that's what started this disc
19:40 the recent discussion on regex
19:40 Chouser: oh! ok.
19:42 sorry, should have read the beginning of the thread instead of just the end.
21:23 rhickey_: user=> (cons 1 2 3)
21:23 java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong number of args passed to: cons
22:10 Chouser: woohoo!!
