/serializable-fn

Serializable functions in Clojure

Primary LanguageClojure

serializable fn

This simple little tweak lets you create functions which show nice representations when printed rather than just their compiled class.

Which is nicer, be honest:

;; raw Clojure behaviour
user> (fn [x] (inc (inc x)))
#<user$eval__1750$fn__1751 user$eval__1750$fn__1751@927e4be>

;; with serializable-fn
user> (require '[serializable.fn :as s])

user> (def dinc (s/fn [x] (inc (inc x))))
(fn [x] (inc (inc x)))
user> ((eval (read-string (pr-str dinc))) 0)
2
user> ^ niiiiiiiiiiiiice!
