I added some more text at the beginning of core.rrb-vector's README explaining in what situations someone may want to use it. Feedback welcome if you give it a read and it seems off somehow: https://github.com/clojure/core.rrb-vector
where does the namespace alias fv
come from?
The original documentation by Michal 🙂
Seriously, I do not know.
This is absolutely fantastic!
I perfectly understand its use now :)
I feel confident that I can pick it up when I need it
i haven't seen the previous version but this is quite nice in explaining rationale, etc
In the person who complained before :)
I did recall there was someone commenting on it, but not who. Glad the changes worked for you. I looked at it and realized it was previously written from the perspective of one who knew Clojure internals fairly well already.
I asked as well, to see whether it would be useful for anything at work (it wouldn't, it seems).
So, yes, thank you for the clarification @andy.fingerhut !
Sure, its use cases are fairly limited. If my plans for world domination come to fruition, I hope to make it even faster than Clojure's built in vector data structure. But that is a big question mark, and a fair chunk of work away from now.
would love a #hacktoberfest on a data structures type project in contrib with an active maintainer 🙂
I'm not sure what is involved there, but the weird thing is that anything that isn't already fixed, is also on the edge of what I know how to do.
