latest docs for datatypes+protocols?

[Raoul Duke]

hi,

i'm trying to catch up on D&P, where are the best online succinct docs
for these? (e.g. is
http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/clojure/Datatypes right? that's the
first hit i get from google.)

thank you!

thanks! that sorta matched what i've already stumbled across in my googling :-)

concrete question 1: where is refiy? (doc reify) doesn't work, but
(reify) does do something.

concrete question 2: is there any canonical "this is the web page
about deftype + defprotocol, look here first, and yes we keep it up to
date"? i haven't found one yet.

thanks!

reify is a macro that maps to a special form. It will eventually have docs here:

http://clojure.org/special_forms

The Assembla wiki is the one:

http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/clojure/Datatypes
http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/clojure/Protocols

ah, thanks, got it. i think i was thrown off by (doc reify) not
working, making me think reify was gone and thus the Assembla stuff
was out of date.

(i really don't understand / i do find it really confusing that
there's clojure.org with its own wiki vs. whatever the Assembla stuff
is vs. whatever else there is out there. i wish there were jus a
single domain / web site for "canonical" or "official" stuff, even the
experimental things. i think that would help defuse a lot of the
confusion i experience trying to track down docs on clojure.)

sincerely.
