This is one of those things that was right in front of my face, but I figure it's worth a mention. I was trying to figure out the best way to view the source code for Clojure's frequencies function — ideally while in a REPL. I found this older post mentioning a source function in the clojure.contrib.repl-utils namespace. I launched a REPL to see if I could use it and, well, here's what I saw:
$ lein repl
nREPL server started on port 58700 on host 127.0.0.1 - nrepl://127.0.0.1:58700
REPL-y 0.3.5, nREPL 0.2.6
Clojure 1.6.0
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.7.0_45-b18
Docs: (doc function-name-here)
(find-doc "part-of-name-here")
Source: (source function-name-here)
Javadoc: (javadoc java-object-or-class-here)
Exit: Control+D or (exit) or (quit)
Results: Stored in vars *1, *2, *3, an exception in *e
user=>It says it right there: Source: (source function-name-here). It can't be any more obvious than that.
user=> (source frequencies)
(defn frequencies
"Returns a map from distinct items in coll to the number of times
they appear."
{:added "1.2"
:static true}
[coll]
(persistent!
(reduce (fn [counts x]
(assoc! counts x (inc (get counts x 0))))
(transient {}) coll)))
nilHaven't figured out a replacement for clojure.contrib.repl-utils/show, although this Stack Overflow thread seems to point in the right direction.
