Hi, I want to get the meta data attached to a function var without knowing the name of the function var at compile time, I tried to do this: ``` user=&gt; (defn ^::a-meta ttt []) #'user/ttt user=&gt; #'ttt #'user/ttt user=&gt; (meta ttt) nil user=&gt; (meta #'ttt) {:user/a-meta true, :arglists ([]), :line 11, :column 1, :file "NO_SOURCE_PATH", :name ttt, :ns #object[clojure.lang.Namespace 0x52d645b1 "user"]} user=&gt; (meta #'(symbol "ttt")) CompilerException java.lang.ClassCastException: clojure.lang.PersistentList cannot be cast to clojure.lang.Symbol, compiling:(NO_SOURCE_PATH:15:1) ``` It failed because the `#'` is a reader macro. If the function name is defined at runtime, are there any ways to get a function's meta data?

1. most `if ...` I write are atleast three lines: one for condition, one for then, one for else branch 2. C has test ? true : false 3. does clojure have a nice macro for that ?

Is there any standard file reader transducer? Something that can be used to stream-read from a file, that can be used within a transducing process? (meaning e.g. composed with other transducers) (edited) Or should I work up a transducer around lazy file reading myself, i.e. from something like this?

and similar thing (still without Specter), from ``` {:a 1 :b 2} {:a inc} ``` I want to map to the values but depending on the key, so ``` {:a 2 :b 2}``` in this case

there is `map-values` in medley but it's not quite the same
2017-12-15T07:08:38.000097

I could split the map many submaps, apply the transformations and merge them all maybe

this works for example ``` (into {} (for [[k v] (seq mm)] [k ((k tr identity) v)]))``` but other suggetions welcome

so this is the "hack" I found: ``` (def CERT_DATE_PARSER (comp (fn [x] (f/parse (f/formatter "EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss yyyy") x)) (fn [x] (str/replace x #"(\w+ \w+ \d+ [0-9:]+) (\w+) (\d+)" "$1 $3")))) ```
2017-12-15T08:52:39.000176
Jami
clojurians
clojure
just wrote something to set the time zone on the formatter, but 1. CEST is not one of the ids and 2. if you get the time as a string it doesn't exactly solve your problem
2017-12-15T08:53:04.000130
Joette
clojurians
clojure
``` (def fmt (.withZone (f/formatter "EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss yyyy") (org.joda.time.DateTimeZone/forID "Europe/Paris"))) (f/parse-local fmt "Thu Apr 24 10:27:52 2014") ``` works, but like I said, no CEST
2017-12-15T08:53:30.000404
Joette
clojurians
clojure
<@Jami> you always have SimpleDateFormat: ``` (.parse (java.text.SimpleDateFormat. "EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss yyyy zzz") "Thu Apr 24 10:27:52 2014 CEST")` ```

That will work fine, but it’s not recommended as you have not included any namespace qualification and will be potentially colliding with every other user creating a namespace `a`. Rather, Clojure follows the Java recommendation of starting your package with a reverse DNS of a domain you control or a trademarked name or some other thing that has a chance of disambiguating your code across all the other code in the world.
2017-12-15T10:47:51.000066

I am trying to implement a algorithm that updates objects in a list. The update function takes each object and the list itself (the other objects) as updated so far. With an imperative approach this is easy using mutability (a for loop and indexes), but what is the best approach to doing this in Clojure? I have tried a reduce, but that of course only passes the original list to the reducing function.
2017-12-15T10:49:25.000541
Kennith
clojurians
clojure
<@Kennith> `reduce` doesn't pass the original list, it passes to function each element and result of previous function evaluation
2017-12-15T10:51:37.000190
Heriberto
clojurians
clojure
<@Kennith> based on original message I guess `map` nested in `let` would work here
2017-12-15T10:52:23.000264
Heriberto
clojurians
clojure
<@Heriberto> Yeah, I get that I meant to write the objects (maps in this case) from the original list.
2017-12-15T10:52:45.000444
Kennith
clojurians
clojure
could change elements in function if they're atoms or volatiles
2017-12-15T10:53:31.000244

also there's `doseq`

<@Kennith> can you explain a bit more about what the algorithm actually achieves?
2017-12-15T11:05:26.000237
Daniell
clojurians

The approach in Clojure is usually to take one step back from the (traditional) implementation and think about the problem holistically instead.

<@Daniell> I can. It updates the position of planets. The new position of a planet depends on its own previous position and the position of the other planets - new position if they have already been updated and old if they have not.
