What Hacker News says
4 sourcesI wrote a Rust / tree-sitter program to detect reify usage in Clojure code a while ago: https://github.com/borkdude/analyze-reify (partially for learning Rust but also performance is really nice). I wanted to extend this to more advanced patterns and do it in Clojure itself, because that's what I'm most productive with.
The reason I wanted to know more about this specific pattern is to answer the question if it's relevant enough for scripting. If so, I should probably support that in my Clojure interpreter (https://github.com/borkdude/sci) which is used in babashka (https://github.com/borkdude/babashka), a fast starting scripting environment for Clojure.
After seeing Grape (https://github.com/bfontaine/grape) I connected the dots and figured I could do this using clojure.spec.
I usually hang out on Clojurians Slack (channels: babashka, sc

i, clj-kondo, clojure, off-topic).
