Code for Space Age challenge is at https://github.com/practicalli/exercism-clojure-guides/tree/master/space-age

Thanks for the session today, greatly appreciated 👍😀

👍 Thanks John, much appreciated.

FYI my solution (which I refactored to within an inch of its life) is here: https://exercism.io/my/solutions/c086e2903b3c46f9b4647b9775637e7f … I ended up making a higher order function that returns a lambda that, in turn, computes the age on different planets.

Looking at other people’s solutions to this problem, some people took that idea even further… there are great solutions that e.g.: • use partial to avoid the need to return an fn • do clever meta-programming tricks (that i need to learn) to convert a keyword to a symbol so that you don’t need to repeat the name… check out this one https://exercism.io/tracks/clojure/exercises/space-age/solutions/07c4952a06aa4c87aab7d745fda87a78 … it is my hope that I will one day know Clojure well enough to stuff like this (and wise enough to know when to use this power and when not to)
