Ep 059: Lining It Up

We examine the sequence abstraction and then ponder how it helps and hinders our data transformation.

Ep 058: Reducing it Down

We take a long hard look at reduce and find the first of many generally useful nuggets inside.

We go through our notes and recall the most memorable talks from the Conj last week.

We discuss complexity and try to come up with a simple explanation for why Clojurians avoid it so ruthlessly.

We examine one of the lesser used data structures in Clojure and talk about its unique characteristics and uses.

We discuss three powerful libraries (Specter, Spectacles, and clojure.walk) and where they might fit into our Clojure programs.

We record our thoughts on the many trade-offs we have encountered preserving our data when it leaves our programs.

We wonder how we could function without these critical building blocks, so we catagorize their varied uses.

We discuss maps and their useful features, including a key distinction that we couldn't live without.

We defend the lowly parentheses, and discuss the benefits of having this stalwart shepherd dutifully organizing our code.
