Add conveniences for searching for function calls? about grasp HOT 9 CLOSED

I would prefer that as a function rather than a macro:

(resolved-symbol 'my.ns/my-fn)

This makes it more composeable.

OK, let's add rsym but as a function.

from grasp.

I gather rsym is to cryptic :) But if we have both resolved-symbol and resolve-symbol, don't we expose the user to a great riks of mixing them up?

Sorry, I missed the part about list. Why do you need this? Often I think list? should just be seq? instead, since list? doesn't match on (cons 1 [1 2 3]) for example.

from grasp.

Maybe I don't? The idea was that function calls in Clojure are calls so it would be natural to search for (list (rsym 'myns/myfn int?)). But I guess seq works just as well and makes list unnecessary. A proper clojure dev should know that 😅

from grasp.

I recommend using seq? and to forget about list? forever :).

from grasp.

Well, in this particular case I really, really want a list because fn calls cannot be lazy sequences :-)

But seq works fine it I guess it is worthwile keeping the api small

from grasp.

The parsed s-expression is usually not a lazy sequence, but it can be a Cons because of macro-expansions.

Ah
