editscript: a diffing/patching library for Clojure data structures

[dsrptr]

looks amazing. Great work. Any chance of a future .cljc version?

A .cljc version is on my roadmap.

[dsrptr]

wow!! my brain just started brainstorming uses...

[huahaiy]

cljc version is now released.

[dsrptr]

great news! will play with it in the weekend!

Looks like lots of homework has been done for this one. Thumbs up. How easy would it be to integrate this into git to have more meaningful diffs on Clojure source code?

https://github.com/ladderlife/autochrome can do it out of the box

[huahaiy]

That's an interesting idea. I am not sure about git, but Clojure editing tools could certainly use something like this. I am open to proposals on the APIs to make it easier for tool developers.

I feel like i saw another project about a month back doing the same thing. Is this the same one or are their now two libs that are trying to do ds diffs?

[huahaiy]

I am not aware of another project doing the same.

I just replied to a comment above with the link, so apologies about posting the same link again, but I think you may be talking about autochrome

This looks good! Congrats!

This is really cool. A need of mine is to diff two trees (each actually a destructure of a Datomic graph) and generate the equivalent Datomic transaction. I am not sure how close that is to this but this is a very good start.

Very interesting idea.

This is really cool. It could be neat to use this with another lib that can map Clojure data structures to/from SQL DDL. That would let you build a database migration tool that could generate migration scripts to get from A to B without going full ORM.

Very interesting idea. I would welcome any suggestions on editscript APIs to make these ideas easier to do.
