# From Clojure to Janet
|
|
## How to convert files
|
|
|
|
### Comments
|
|
`% s ; r # <esc>`
|
|
|
|
|
|
### called keyword property access
|
|
Use a macro:
|
|
- Select `\ \( : ret <esc>`
|
|
- Record the macro: `Q n <esc> v e c get <esc> e e a <space> <esc> p <esc> Q`
|
|
- Then just `q` until you've changed everything
|
|
|
|
### Chars don't exist
|
|
- \char -> "char", e.g.
|
|
- \newline -> "\n", etc.
|
|
- \a -> "a"
|
|
|
|
### Use mutable arrays and tables
|
|
Where data structures are mutable, add `@`s.
|
|
|
|
### Sets & tables
|
|
Sets don't exist in Janet. Use tables with values set to `true`.
|
|
|
|
### Strings -> number literals
|
|
- Clj uses `edn/read-string`; Janet uses `parse-all`
|
|
|
|
### `loop` -> `defn recur`
|
|
- Clj's `loop` is very different from Janet's `loop`
|
|
- As a quick and dirty workaround, change it to an interior recursive function
|
|
- Janet has tail calls, so this is nearly as efficient (paying the overhead for creating the function)
|
|
- An optimization is to pull out these functions and declare them at the toplevel
|
|
|
|
### current-char
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Straight replacements:
|
|
- nth -> get
|
|
- assoc -> put
|
|
- conj -> array/push
|
|
- str -> string
|
|
- substr -> slice
