Re: [Esug-list] destructDo:

by Martin McClure

Hi Christian and all, #destructDo: is probably not the best name. "Destruct" can be interpreted as either short for "destructured" (which is what you want) or more like "destroy" as in "self-destruct." I initially took "destruct" in the "destroy" sense and guessed that #destructDo: might remove each element from the collection as it iterated. You could lengthen it to #destructured: or #destructuredDo:, but if there's a good short name that would be better. #tupleDo: feels better. But both #tupleDo: and #destructDo: contain "do" which implies iteration. Unless I'm missing something, your #destructDo: does not iterate. I'd really expect a #tupleDo: to iterate -- I'd expect with #(1 2 3 4) tupleDo: [:a :b: | a + b] that the block would be evaluated twice, once with 1 and 2 and once with 3 and 4. This would be a nice pattern; you could also have a tupleCollect: a tupleDetect: and so on. #mapTo: is quite similar to #map: in PetitParser, except IIRC PetitParser's #map: expects an exact match in argument count. But maybe #map: is a good name for consistency. Hope this helps. Regards, -Martin On 3/28/20 7:24 AM, Christian Haider wrote: > > Yes, that would be nice.

Re: [Esug-list] destructDo:

I chose the name because of the old Lisp “destructuring-bind”. But this is more powerful, because it does tree matching. This is just shallow. I am not sure where the concept was invented first.

Re: [Esug-list] [vwnc] destructDo:

by Karsten Kusche

It reminds me of Javascript there you have similar constructs via apply() and i tend to think that the name is not too bad either. #(1 2 3) apply:[:a :b :c | ] I am a bit sceptic about the idea though. Given the examples you provided i do think it’s a neat solution but when i consider: (('2020-03-28' tokensBasedOn: $-) collect: #asNumber) destructDo: [:year :month :day | Date newDay: day monthNumber: month year: year] I’m sure that the input string is not a literal because then this whole code doesn’t make much sense at all. But when the string is not literal, no-one can guarantee the correctness of the string. I’ve seen you use #cull: in the implementation so at least there’s no error if the number of arguments is smaller than the collection. But what happens the other way around? Maybe you should call #valueWithArguments: and ensure that the arguments are filled up with nil. Other than that i hope such a construct doesn’t lure people to use tupel-like arrays. That just produces the hardest-to-understand code ever. Kind Regards Karsten — Georg Heeg eK Wallstraße 22 06366 Köthen Tel.: 03496/214328 FAX: 03496/214712 Amtsgericht Dortmund HRA 12812 Am 28.
