Thanks. >You basically have maps, lists, vectors, functions and not much in terms of hierarchy. A lot of code in Object Oriented languages simply exists to manage the hierarchies and structures you build and that's something that clojure largely avoids. It's similar for Python's built-in data structures: tuples, lists, dicts, sets, frozensets, with their built-in features and methods, including slicing for lists and strings (even without using, say, the collections module of the stdlib). (And of course including building up nested structures from the same.) Had read early on in my use of Python and later experienced for myself, a good amount, when doing work with it, that those structures are fairly powerful and for many apps, you do not even need OOP structures and hierarchies. List, dict and set comprehensions are great for that, too. Although Clojure may have some additional ones that Python does not, not sure, since I haven't used it. |
