I’ve been experimenting with tagged literals and data-readers to create what I’m calling a “conditional feature reader”. The basic element is the condf
tag, which works sort of like cond
but the tests are “feature requirements”. A feature requirement can be something like clj1.5
(meaning Clojure 1.5) or java1.6+
(meaning JDK 1.6 or greater). For example:
(println #feature/condf [(and jdk1.6+ clj1.5.*) "Ready for reducers" else "No reducers for you."])
I’ve only implemented it for regular Clojure 1.4 and 1.5 (on the JVM), but I’m hoping it might prove useful for other variants such as ClojureScript.
