Ep 086: Let Tricks

Functional Design in Clojure

Each week, we discuss a different topic about Clojure and functional programming.

If you have a question or topic you'd like us to discuss, tweet @clojuredesign, send an email to [e-mail], or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.

This week, the topic is: "let." Let us share some tricks to reduce nesting and make your code easier to understand.

Selected quotes:

• "It's really about avoiding nesting."
• "Functions grow as a function of their nesting."
• "I don't want to start doing math on a nil!"
• "It's a clue that the value might not be there."
• "It's like your prep space in the kitchen."
