Errata

[Erik Assum]

Hi, and thanks for a great book!

There seems to be a formatting error on the :to-soft keyword in bed-errors

Really enjoying this book!

Erik.

[Zach Tellman]

So there is.  Fixed, thank you.

Also fixed.  Keep them coming.

End of page 9: "When defining a let-bound value, we also only control the sign, but we also control the right side of the let binding"

That also should be 'not' I think.

I'm hosting ideolalia.com, aleph.io, and elementsofclojure.com on the same server, and my "Host" header detection logic was a little too simplistic.  Fixed now, thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for such fine writing and thinking. I'm impressed, amongst much else in your first chapter, by your apposite use of Frege and friends.

I note one erratum on page 14, in the first paragraph:

"The naming convention given here" should be modified to the plural "The naming conventions given here".

[Zach Tellman]

Fixed, thank you.

Arguments should be "elements"

[Erik Assum]

Thanks for the new installment, I've been waiting:)

In the "binding" chapter, you have the following:

«(defn b [x turbo-mode?]
(c x))»

I do believe you forgot to pass along turbo-mode?

Erik.

[Zach Tellman]

Yeah, I did.  Thanks, I'll publish a fix.

Thanks for continuing to write such a meaningful, thought-provoking guide! There’s a small typo in the lower half of PDF page 57 in version 
a43e7fec8d9030031e03e2d0e2d23c838766e4a4 released on February 12, 2017: “We can possess a oracles, but we can never understand them.” should not have the “a” in it.

[James Elliott]

In the same version, near the top of PDF page 61, “A useful abstraction should also be adaptable; it must allow be able to change with its environment.” seems to have an extra “allow” in it as well.

[Zach Tellman]

Thanks James, those will both be fixed in the next release.

I might already be too tired but it seems like on page 59 the function body should read (b x turbo-mode?) but is missing the question mark.

[Manuel Uberti]

Hi,

first of all thanks for all the work on this book. This is my first post here, so please tell me if I am doing something wrong.

I don't know if it's been already pointed out, but at page 80 of the latest release of the book there is an error: 

It’s easy to to imagine a failure of the former assumption;

The second to is not necessary.

Manuel

[Manuel Uberti]

Another one just spotted, but this could be just my random opinion. Page 82:

Instead, the C++ relies on a convention, known as “resource allocation is initialization” (RAII)

Is the before C++ necessary? Unless there is some word missing after it, it can be left out I guess.

Manuel

[Manuel Uberti]

Some other ones, I grouped them all in one mail:

Page 83:

 

This clearly a bad assumption; for any given model, small facets of the environment are critically important, and the rest are not

I think there is a missing is there.

Page 84:

This true for software, architecture, biology, urban planning, and a host of other fields.

A missing is here too.

Page 88:

Even so, we are constantly drawn to software we don’t know well enough to dislike.

It could be my poor English, but wouldn't this be better rephrased? Something like: Even so, we are constantly drawn to dislike software we don’t know well enough.

Manuel

[Zach Tellman]

Thank you for pointing out all the typos. If anyone's wondering, I will be hiring a copy editor before releasing my final draft, but in the meantime I greatly appreciate everyone's help.

As for the last sentence, the intended meaning is the inverse of what you wrote.  I'm saying we are drawn to software we don't know, because we haven't learned all the things that are wrong with it.  I'll think about ways to make the phrasing more clear.

Zach

Another erratum for you (from the latest draft):

Page 44, in the third example implementation of the "pi" function: #(pi n) should be #(pi n {}).
