MERGED to LFE - Clojure-inspired macros and functions for use in LFE

DEPRECATED: This library is no longer maintained! Nor is it useful, since the functionality it provides has been moved into LFE-proper (see the clj module).

Clojure functions and macros for LFE

Contents

Introduction ↟

The clj library offers a collection of functions and macros that you may find useful or enjoyable in LFE if you've come from a Clojure background.

This library is in the process of extracting the Clojure functionality that made its way into the lutil LFE library

Dependencies ↟

As of version 0.3.0, this project assumes that you have rebar3 installed somwhere in your $PATH. It no longer uses the old version of rebar. If you do not wish to use rebar3, you may use the most recent rebar2-compatible release of clj: 0.2.1.

Installation ↟

In your rebar.config file, update your deps section to include clj:

  {deps, [
    ...
    {clj, ".*",
      {git, "git@github.com:lfex/clj.git", {tag, "0.3.0"}}}
      ]}.

Usage ↟

TBD

(We are changing the functions and macros from what they were in lutil, so usage has not yet stabilized. If you want to be an alpha tester/user, be sure to look at the unit tests and code comments, both in the modules and in the include files.)

Future ↟

The future of the clj library is quite bright :-) In a couple posts on the LFE mail list, Robert Virding has offered to bring Clojure functionality into LFE-proper:

The rest is up to us :-) As such, I will be creating a series of tickets in this repo targeted against a branch of Robert's LFE repo. Anyone in the community may make a contribution to this branch -- simply sumbit a PR. Once we have critical mass on Clojure-inspired functions and macros, I will submit a PR to upstream LFE, and all of our work will be included :-)

Here's the branch:

Here are the tickets you can chose from to implement your favourite Clojure bits in LFE (if you don't see the one you want, add it!):

IMPORTANT: Even though these tickets are in the lfex/clj repo, you will be working against a branch of oubiwann/lfe! Do not submit PRs against lfex/clj -- submit them against the add-clojure-lib branch of oubiwann/lfe.

Now go forth, and help these two worlds to collide :-D
