ANN: core.memoize v0.5.1
Fogus
=================================
core.memoize is a new Clojure contrib library providing the following
features:
* An underlying `PluggableMemoization` protocol that allows the use of
customizable and swappable memoization caches that adhere to the
synchronous `CacheProtocol` found in [core.cache](http://github.com/
clojure/core.cache)
* Memoization builders for implementations of common caching
strategies, including:
- First-in-first-out (`memo-fifo`)
- Least-recently-used (`memo-lru`)
- Least-used (`memo-lu`)
- Time-to-live (`memo-ttl`)
- Naive cache (`memo`) that duplicates the functionality of
Clojure's `memoize` function
* Functions for manipulating the memoization cache of `core.memoize`
backed functions
core.memoize is based on a library named Unk, found at <http://
github.com/fogus/unk> that is planned for deprecation.
* [Source code](https://github.com/clojure/core.memoize)
* [Ticket system](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CMEMOIZE)
Changes from Unk
-------------------
The v0.5.1 version of core.memoize is based almost wholly on the final
version of Unk, with the following changes:
* All cache factory functions have been moved to core.cache
* The `SoftCache` backed implementation was buggy and removed for now
Plans
-----
The following capabilities are under design, development, or
consideration for future versions of core.memoize:
* LIRS backed memoization
* A [defn-memo](https://github.com/richhickey/clojure-contrib/blob/
1c805bd0e515ea57028721ea54e6db4b0c791e20/src/main/clojure/clojure/
contrib/def.clj#L143) macro
* A [MapMaker](http://google-collections.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
javadoc/com/google/common/collect/MapMaker.html) style ctor interface
* Reimplementation of a cache based on soft references
* test.generative usage
* Deprecation of Unk
* Documentation and examples
More planning is needed around capabilities not listed nor thought of.

There have been some great and very educational blog posts on how to improve the memoization functionality for various use-cases but this makes it even more effort free to use the techniques.
This is brilliant! Thank you!
