I need to parse simple text like: `"Important Field: {{important-field}}"` and replace `{{important-field}}` with a value from a map should I use something as heavy as instaparse, or what would be an idiomatic way in clojure?
2017-11-06T14:02:55.000515
Lori
clojurians
clojure
Instaparse isn't well suited for "find/replace" use cases
2017-11-06T14:04:11.000220
Edelmira
clojurians
clojure
It's more designed to parse a whole block of text data and interpret it as data
2017-11-06T14:05:12.000700
Edelmira
clojurians
clojure
there are templating libraries that use that syntax already
2017-11-06T14:05:24.000436
Margaret
clojurians
clojure
yeah, like <https://github.com/fhd/clostache>
2017-11-06T14:05:39.000401
Edelmira

and selmer, and antlers
2017-11-06T14:05:51.000371
Margaret
clojurians
clojure
Selmer would be my first choice (we use it very heavily at World Singles), but clostache is probably simpler/more lightweight for this use case(?).
2017-11-06T14:06:26.000013

x = float-array of size 1000 y = float-array of size 2000 is there a builtin to say y[1000:1999] = x ? (I'm hoping for a java builtin faster than 1000 aset / agets)

hi there, I’m having an issue with futures
2017-11-06T16:26:38.000448
Ross
clojurians
clojure
I have a fn with `(try ... (catch ) ... (finally))` that works ok and returns as expected
2017-11-06T16:27:02.000361
Ross
clojurians
clojure
but when I run it through an executor it returns nil
2017-11-06T16:27:11.000033
Ross
clojurians
clojure
do you guys have any pointers?
2017-11-06T16:28:20.000093
Ross
clojurians
clojure
``` (defn submit-job [fn] (.submit threadpool fn)) @(submit-job (constantly 1)) nil ```
2017-11-06T16:29:31.000162
Ross
clojurians
clojure
submit can take a Runnable or a Callable, and fn's implement both, so the reflector has to pick one
2017-11-06T16:32:34.000113
Rebeca
clojurians
clojure
^Callable fn
2017-11-06T16:32:41.000671
Rebeca
clojurians
clojure
submit returns a future that returns a value when you deref it
2017-11-06T16:33:17.000337
Rebeca
clojurians
clojure
if you submit a Callable you get the return value of the callable
2017-11-06T16:33:30.000589
Rebeca
clojurians
clojure
`Runnable` doesn't return a value, `Callable` does.
2017-11-06T16:33:34.000469
Daniell
clojurians
clojure
`(deref (submit-job (cast java.util.concurrent.Callable (fn [] 1))))` still nil
2017-11-06T16:34:02.000281
Ross
clojurians
clojure
(well, in an imprecise way :slightly_smiling_face: )
2017-11-06T16:34:02.000469
Daniell

Use a type hint.
2017-11-06T16:34:16.000143
Daniell
clojurians
clojure
I feel stupid :slightly_smiling_face: gonna learn something today I guess
2017-11-06T16:34:16.000148
Ross
clojurians
clojure
you can't use cast for that
2017-11-06T16:34:24.000057
Rebeca
clojurians
clojure
`(defn submit-job [^Callable fn] (.submit threadpool fn))` I think?
2017-11-06T16:34:36.000531
Daniell
clojurians
clojure
and you can't type hint a (fn ..) form like that either
2017-11-06T16:34:37.000436
Rebeca
clojurians
clojure
cast is runtime, I want to tell the compiler how to dispatch right?
2017-11-06T16:34:46.000081
Ross
clojurians
clojure
correct, as <@Daniell> has it
2017-11-06T16:35:00.000551
Rebeca
clojurians
clojure
nope :smile: `@(let [^java.util.concurrent.Callable f (fn [] 1)] (.submit threadpool f))`
2017-11-06T16:35:58.000675
Ross
clojurians
clojure
still nil
2017-11-06T16:36:10.000225
Ross
clojurians
clojure
you also need to type hint threadpool
2017-11-06T16:36:55.000138
Rebeca
clojurians
clojure
if you `(set! *warn-on-reflection* true)` you will see that the method call is still reflective
2017-11-06T16:37:28.000634
Rebeca
clojurians
clojure
```boot.user=&gt; (defn submit-job ^java.util.concurrent.Future [^java.util.concurrent.Callable f] (.submit ^java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool fjpool f)) #'boot.user/submit-job boot.user=&gt; (deref (submit-job (constantly 1))) 1```
2017-11-06T16:40:53.000075
Daniell
clojurians
clojure
(I'm using a ForkJoinPool for ease of creation but should work with a general executor service)
2017-11-06T16:41:34.000372
Daniell
clojurians
clojure
(switching the type hint to `^java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService` works -- I just tried it)
2017-11-06T16:42:16.000131
Daniell
clojurians
clojure
the reflected method chosen may actually vary by clojure release, with the beta of 1.9 even with reflection it chooses the callable version of submit
2017-11-06T16:42:21.000448
Rebeca
clojurians
clojure
``` user=&gt; (set! *warn-on-reflection* true) true user=&gt; (def pool1 (java.util.concurrent.Executors/newFixedThreadPool 2)) #'user/pool1 @(let [^Runnable f (fn [] 1)] (.submit ^java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService pool1 f)) nil @(let [^Callable f (fn [] 1)] (.submit ^java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService pool1 f)) 1 user=&gt; ```
2017-11-06T16:42:34.000381
Rebeca
clojurians
clojure
(if I explicitly type hint I can get the Runnable version)
2017-11-06T16:43:12.000166
Rebeca

thanks all, it seems type hints fixed it

when we base64 encode a string, how much does the size increase by ? does it mean each byte is now only storing 6 bits instead of 8, so a 3MB file -&gt; 4 MB ?

does anyone know if `:ret` and `:fn` aspects of `fdef` on macros are no longer being checked? The docs sort of discourage checking `:ret` (although they do not explicitly forbid it) and I'm seeing in practice that they are not being checked and just wondered if the "discouragement" became a "mandate enforced by code itself"
2017-11-06T18:26:41.000276

apart from the docs being updated to reflect such
2017-11-06T18:27:27.000077

They are only checked during stest/check, not during instrument
2017-11-06T18:39:06.000156
Sonny

<@Sonny> so what aspects are checked during instrument? just `:args`?
2017-11-06T18:57:29.000083
Edward
clojurians
clojure
Yes - the purpose of instrument is to check for correct invocation
2017-11-06T18:57:54.000369
Sonny

got it. thanks
2017-11-06T18:58:04.000050
