Data Structures in Clojure: Binary Search Trees
- applecore 13y agoMutable fields are really hard to use correctly in Clojure, but it's good to see an appropriate use case for `:volatile-mutable` in the implementation of these data structures.
- rapala 13y agoMutable fields are really hard to use correctly in any language, and that's why Clojure encourages the use of immutable data. Thus I find it really odd that the article builds a mutable binary tree. The immutable version would have been equally simple. And now you can't put that tree into any of the Clojure's reference types (ref, agent, atom).
- fiatmoney 13y agoClojure also has a built-in persistent red-black tree. https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/PersistentTreeMap.java https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/cloju...
