Why such implementation of partial in clojure.core -


i stumbled across implementation of partial function in cojure.core. looks this:

(defn partial   "takes function f , fewer normal arguments f, ,   returns fn takes variable number of additional args. when   called, returned function calls f args + additional args."   {:added "1.0"    :static true}   ([f] f)   ([f arg1]    (fn [& args] (apply f arg1 args)))   ([f arg1 arg2]    (fn [& args] (apply f arg1 arg2 args)))   ([f arg1 arg2 arg3]    (fn [& args] (apply f arg1 arg2 arg3 args)))   ([f arg1 arg2 arg3 & more]    (fn [& args] (apply f arg1 arg2 arg3 (concat more args)))))

why has several parity options if have one? performance optimisation concat doesn't called in cases?

i mean otherwise, right? 

(defn partial   ([f] f)   ([f & more]    (fn [& args] (apply f (concat more args))))   )

i noticed several other functions follow same pattern.

yes, it's performance optimization.

i'ts not not calling concat - it's fact & in argument list requires collection created well. clojure core libraries tend take performance seriously, under assumption basic building blocks of language present in everyone's performance bottleneck.

facebook - android ACTION_SEND to share with specific application only -

in android application have 4 buttons facebook , viber , telegram , whatsapp , want share different content based on each button. for example if user clicks on viber button want user action_send share content viber only. i found this explains how facebook , twitter seems it's calling specific class name of application don't know applications wanna use except facebook. all android apps have unique id, first have check if these apps installed in user's device , can pass unique id via intent sharing. according below: unique ids different apps : viber : com.viber.voip telegram : org.telegram.messenger whatsapp : com.whatsapp check if these apps installed , if installed send messages through intent. private void sendmessage(context context,string message, string appids) { final boolean isappinstalled =isappavailable(context, appids); if (isappinstalled) { intent myintent = new intent(intent.action_send); myintent.settype("text/p...

go - Idiomatic way to handle template errors in golang -

say have html/template following: <html> <body> <p>{{somefunc .somedata}}</p> </body> and somefunc returns error. there idiomatic way deal this? if write directly responsewriter , status code 200 has been written before encounter error. var tmpl *template.template func handler(w http.responsewriter, r *http.request) { err := tmpl.execute(w, data) // "<html><body><p>" has been written... // err? } preferably return status code 400 or such, can't see way if use template.execute directly on responsewriter . there i'm missing? since template engine generates output on-the-fly, parts of template preceding somefunc call sent output. , if output not buffered, (along http 200 status) may sent. you can't that. what can perform check before call template.execute() . in trivial case should enough call somefunc() , check return value. if choose path , return value of somefunc() c...
