We put Clojure 1.9.0 into production today. We've been on RC builds in production for a while so it was uneventful (as all of our Clojure version upgrades are!).

my jvm is crashing after some time developing. this is a mixed clojure+java projects and I'm using plugins like virgil (to reload java classes). I get the crash log but no core dump even though jvm said it wrote it (probably just need to change location). so.. first question, is this something that is more or less expected or a strong indication of a bug?

asking because to me this seems suspiciously like the classic PermGen OoM error with plain Java but could also be just my previous experiences. I'm on 1.8 java, the mem consumption doesn't look too bad to the OS but I haven't visualvm'd this yet. I'm new to Clojure but know my java, so I'm not sure whether I should stress out about it at this point or not. This is not in production yet but I really wouldn't like to find out at that time

clojure.string/capitalize is a very strange thing to have in Clojure, I agree. It also has a subtle bug. (Hint: Java strings, and thus Clojure strings, are represented in memory encoded as UTF-16)

I'm translating this to Clojure. Is there a amore idiomatic way instead of converting the while loop into a loop-recur? ``` ;; private static byte[] toByteArray(InputStream inputStream) ;; throws IOException ;; { ;; ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); ;; byte buffer[] = new byte[8192]; ;; while (true) ;; { ;; int read = inputStream.read(buffer); ;; if (read == -1) ;; { ;; break; ;; } ;; baos.write(buffer, 0, read); ;; } ;; return baos.toByteArray(); ;; } ``` It's fine to get either a byteArray or a string as output -- this data won't be too large -- it's the error msg (or stdout) of a very simple process).

<@Berry> ``` (do (... read ...) (while (not= read -1) ( ... write ...) (... read ...)) (.toByteArray baos)) ```

a quick question. This to me was perhaps not what I expected: ``` ((every-pred =) 1 2) =&gt; true ``` I assume this is caused by the fact that `(= 1) =&gt; true` and that `every-pred` applies every predicate to one argument at a time, is there anything in clojure core that would do this but apply all arguments to the predicates
2017-12-20T11:12:07.000807
Joette
clojurians
clojure
the docs for `every-pred` are not entirely conclusive here: &gt; Takes a set of predicates and returns a function f that returns true if all of its composing predicates return a logical true value against all of its arguments, else it returns false. , but I guess I can see why it's implemented this way
2017-12-20T11:13:42.000470
Joette
clojurians
clojure
<@Joette> probably you’d need to use ```(every? (every-pred pos? (partial &gt; 0)) '(1 2 3 -1))```

I need to handle JSON documents, and the library is converting each JSON key to a keyword instead of a string
2017-12-20T11:55:40.000554
Jami

I'm worried that some characters will not be handled well as keywords
2017-12-20T11:56:21.000609
Jami
clojurians
clojure
If you pr-str/read-string it, this will definitely cause problems. I'm pretty sure that `keyword` does not validate the contents of the namespace or name, and they are stored as Java `String`.
2017-12-20T11:57:55.000348
Detra
clojurians
clojure
<@Jami> Hmm. It might not deal with the crazy amount of data in `ex-info` but this seems nice. Also `ultra` which uses it seems pretty useful.
2017-12-20T12:01:36.000158
Detra

Keywords are made of strings. If you are programatically creating and using them you should be fine
2017-12-20T12:27:49.000495
Sonny

clojure
But don’t expect to be necessarily be able to print and read as data
2017-12-20T12:28:25.000103
Sonny
clojurians

Also keep in mind that keywords are interned so there are memory effects if using a large number of arbitrary keywords
2017-12-20T12:29:08.000834
Sonny
clojurians
clojure
it’s entirely valid (IMHO preferable) to just tell the json library not to keywordize - both clojure.data.json and cheshire let you choose, and almost everything else is using one of those
2017-12-20T12:45:02.000530
Margaret

clojure
our codebase has a bunch of nonsense for handling numbers that got turned to strings when they were keys in json, then turned into keywords when retrieved from the json… huge headache
2017-12-20T12:46:07.000593
Margaret
clojurians
clojure
we haven't really had any issues like that, and we tend to keywordize pretty often
2017-12-20T12:59:20.000346

not everywhere, though, have to do it judiciously
2017-12-20T13:00:00.000277
Ambrose
clojurians
clojure
<@Ambrose> yeah the problem was that the people integrating monger (the clojure mongodb wrapper) didn’t realize keywordizing was optional, and didn’t sanitize the data to make sense for mongo insertion (eg. avoiding numeric keys), and by the time it was pointed out that we had other options the inconsistency of number / string / keyword in the data keys was baked into all the code consuming the data
2017-12-20T13:11:44.000132
Margaret
clojurians
clojure
ah
2017-12-20T13:21:36.000245
Ambrose

yeah, only way to avoid situations like that is mandating thorough code review from more experienced people
2017-12-20T13:22:20.000348

2017-12-20T13:26:56.000329

it's probably because you can't use `(keyname map)` syntax to get values when `keyname` isn't keyword.

<@Heriberto> I would be quite upset if I saw `(:1234 foo)` in my codebase, those keywords existed because nobody realized how easy it would be to not create them
2017-12-20T13:30:43.000491
Margaret
clojurians

not even considering that you can still do `(my-map "my-key")`

not a big fan of using maps as functions, personally, have to do a double-take to realize that it's a map and not a function defined elsewhere
2017-12-20T13:36:14.000245
Ambrose
clojurians
clojure
The only thing I find a little confusing in this situation is that the external keys may come in via strings - and you leave them that way, but internally you probably have maps you make with keywords (in clj-land). so now you have both and that can get awkward or error prone
2017-12-20T13:36:24.000184
Petronila

However, it typically is ok. You just sort of have to make those boundaries clear
2017-12-20T13:36:38.000149
Petronila

<@Ambrose> but the nice thing is you can swap it out later for a function with no change to the code

<@Petronila> if the key comes in via user input, I prefer to make the key a string
2017-12-20T13:37:06.000372

and for reasons that should be obvious, I don’t use the same data structure to look up based on user input and compiled code

is there a lot of expressive power gained from the whole IFn thing where keywords and collections can be in function position? as a newb I was totally surprised the first time I saw that, and I’m not 100% sold that the terseness is actually better for readability (echoing <@Kareen>’s statement that get is only 3 chars). but maybe it is nice to have once you get used to it?
2017-12-20T13:38:27.000312
Thu
clojurians
clojure
@justinlee it’s often that I discover some function that I wrote can be replaced by a simple hash-map, and since hash maps are much less powerful than functions it’s always a win to do that substitution
2017-12-20T13:39:25.000513
Margaret

that’s a refactor that would be impossible if hash-maps didn’t implement IFn

Margaret
clojurians
clojure
<@Thu> it really is convenient, esp when you can use them HOF (e.g. `(map :foo my-coll)`), but it's also really important to know when reaching for that conveniency causes unnecessary performance issues or having to handle conversions down the line

right -it can make chained data access in nested data much cleaner
2017-12-20T13:40:59.000117
Margaret
clojurians
clojure
<@Merri> but similarly to what I was saying about not using the same data for user input lookup and program lookup, I also don’t tend to write code such that user input comes in deeply nested, and yes I would absolutely use keywords for program created nested data structures
2017-12-20T13:42:38.000208
Margaret
clojurians
clojure
and this doesn’t run into the problems with keyword/ string cross conversion we were discussing

Margaret
clojurians
clojure
¥es indeed. When first starting with clojure I spent lots of time converting everything to keywords since it “looks prettier”. Esp with JSON there are dark corners to get caught in like you mentioned.
2017-12-20T13:45:17.000173
Merri
clojurians
clojure
also I can’t recommend transit enough if you need to write data to json (or external storage in general) in one place and then read it from another
2017-12-20T13:46:04.000032
Margaret
clojurians
clojure
if I was remaking our app all the mongo insertions would be small json maps, with the indexed keys at the top, then a larger transit encoded payload under one key with the actual original clojure data embedded
2017-12-20T13:46:53.000564

come to think of it I should make a small library that implements that pattern
