Thanks for posting the video. It’s useful to see as someone new to Clojure and its workflow.
I’m just wondering if there is any reason why`(map #(clojure.string/lower-case %))` was used instead of (map clojure.string/lower-case)
.
Is it a common choice, or just personal preference?
Oh yes, that would be simpler.. I guess I got too trigger happy with the anonymous function. I also think I may have used apply str
instead of clojure.string/lower-case
in a previous version and forgot to remove the surrounding anonymous function.
Sometime you need the anonymous function if you have more arguments or want to control the order of those arguments, but not in this case.. Good spot.
I will be doing more videos about REPL driven development over the coming weeks
