Grokking Clojure Macros - A Complete Guide [2022]

Vishal Gautam explains Clojure macros by walking through the source code of core macros.

Learn and master Clojure's macros by reading source code. Rationale 1. I wanted a quick way to gloss over entire list of Clojure macros and 2. I didn't want to go to Clojure source every single time. Hence this video was born. This video covers entire 71 Clojure macros. Feel free to pause and read the doc + source. List of Macros List Intro 00:00:00 - Intro + run clojure repo locally 00:00:52 - How many functions in clojure.core [stackoverflow] 00:01:22 - defmacro definition 00:01:40 - when, when-not 00:02:16 - cond, lazy-seq, if-not 00:02:28 - and, or 00:02:40 - locking, .., thread-first, thread-last 00:03:06 - defmulti 00:03:30 - defmethod, assert-args 00:03:48 - if-let, when-let, if-some, when-some 00:04:26 - binding, with-bindings, sync, io! 00:04:42 - vswap!, dotimes, declare, doseq, dotimes 00:05:00 - import, with-open, doto, memfn, time 00:05:38 - def-aset, defstruct 00:06:00 - let 00:06:18 - fn 00:06:40 - loop, when-let, lazy-cat, for 00:07:16 - comment 00:07:36 - with-out-str, with-in-str, assert, defn- 00:08:00 - dosync, with-precision, definline, amap, areduce, with-loading-context 00:08:13 - ns 00:08:29 - refer-clojure, defonce 00:08:50 - while, condp, add-doc-and-meta, letfn, case 00:09:15 - when-class 00:09:25 - future 00:09:40 - pvalues, with-redefs, cond thread first + last 00:09:50 - as thread first, some thread first + last FYI: comment is my favourite macro.
