it is hard to criticize this library rigorously, broadly i think the second sentence here is what’s important: core.match seems designed to demonstrate the power and potential of macros, which is decidedly not the same as being designed to solve some specific problem or use case. So it has a lot of quirks and rough edges. Nobody ever really ran with it past that to see where it might lead. And whatever that is, it will be subtly different than in langs where it is the fundamental control flow construct
- kokada 2y agoOk, I think this is a much fair opinion. It is true that I vaguely remember `core.match` being used or discussed at the time I was working with Clojure, so it could be as well that the library has too many quirks or issues to be used in a production environment.
