Subject: Re: new function proposal alist-to-hash
Date: Fri, 04 Oct 2019 09:58:43 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <xjfzhig7rxo.fsf@sdf.org> (raw)
I just wanted elaborate a little more on the following two points:
- I think is quite useful to be able to create in a concise and
explicit way nested hash tables. This is a common feature of many
"modern" languages.
Here both solutions compared:
(alist-to-hash '((a . x)
(b . ((i . j)
(k . l)))
(c . y)))
(map-into `((a . x)
(b . ,(map-into '((i . j)
(k . l))
'hash-table))
(c . y))
'hash-table)
- map-into does not let you tweak make-hash-table parameters.
This is especially a limitation regarding :test so is effectively a
solution to say ~50% of the use cases.
Bests
Andrea
