;;; 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 where I prefer more modern ;; alternatives: ;; - `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 influenced by ;; Elixir's standard library. ;; ;; Similar libraries: ;; - dash.el: Excellent and widely adopted library for working with lists. ;; - list-utils.el: Utility library that covers things that dash.el may not ;; cover. ;;; Code: ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; Dependencies ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; (require 'maybe) (require 'set) (require 'set) ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; Library ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; (defun list-new () "Return a new, empty list."
