Ep 083: Sift Sans Sort

Functional Design in Clojure

Each week, we discuss a different topic about Clojure and functional programming.

If you have a question or topic you’d like us to discuss, tweet @clojuredesign, send an email to [e-mail], or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.

This week, the topic is: “partition-by and group-by.” We get a handle on big buckets of data by sifting elements into smaller buckets.

Selected quotes:

• “If you know the core toolbox better, you will use it more effectively.”
• “Is there a group-by hiding in this code that uses filter?”
• “Be eager to be lazy.”
