;;; list.el --- Functions for working with lists -*- lexical-binding: t -*- ;; Author: William Carroll ;; Version: 0.0.1 ;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "24")) ;;; Commentary: ;; Since I prefer having the `list-' namespace, I wrote this module to wrap many ;; of the functions that are defined in the the global namespace in ELisp. I ;; sometimes forget the names of these functions, so it's nice for them to be ;; organized like this. ;; ;; Motivation: ;; Here are some examples of function names that I cannot tolerate: ;; - `car': Return the first element (i.e. "head") of a linked list ;; - `cdr': Return the tail of a linked list ;; As are most APIs for standard libraries that I write, this is heavily ;; influenced by Elixir's standard library. ;; ;; Elixir's List library: ;; - ++/2 ;; - --/2 ;; - hd/1 ;; - tl/1 ;; - in/2 ;; - length/1 ;; ;; Similar libraries: ;; - dash.el: Functional library that mimmicks Clojure. It is consumed herein. ;; - list-utils.el: Utility library that covers things that dash.el may not ;; cover. ;; stream.el: Elisp implementation of streams, "implemented as delayed ;; evaluation of cons cells." ;; TODO: Consider naming this file linked-list.el. ;; TODO: Support module-like macro that auto-namespaces functions. ;; TODO: Consider wrapping most data structures like linked-lists, ;; associative-lists, etc in a `cl-defstruct', so that the dispatching by type ;; can be nominal instead of duck-typing. I'm not sure if this is a good idea ;; or not. If I do this, I should provide isomorphisms to map between idiomatic ;; ways of working with Elisp data structures and my wrapped variants. ;; TODO: Are function aliases/synonyms even a good idea? Or do they just ;; bloat the API unnecessarily? ;;; Code: ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; Dependencies ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; (require 'dash) (require 'maybe) (require 'set) ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; Library ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; (defun list-new () "Return a new, empty list."
