Clojure Destructuring Tutorial and Cheat Sheet

Clojure Destructuring Tutorial and Cheat Sheet

(Related blog post)

Simply put, destructuring in Clojure is a way extract values from a datastructure and bind them to symbols, without having to explicitly traverse the datstructure. It allows for elegant and concise Clojure code.

Vectors and Sequences

import
asyncdispatch, asyncnet, htmlparser, xmltree, httpclient, strutils,
strtabs, streams, uri, sets
var visited = initSet[string]()
proc crawl(url: string, client: PAsyncHttpClient = newAsyncHttpClient()) {.async.} =
if url in visited: return # Already visited this URL.
echo("Crawling ", url)
visited.incl(url)

Create new branch with empty folder structure
You can create a new empty branch like this:
$ git checkout --orphan NEWBRANCH
--orphan creates a new branch, but it starts without any commit. After running the above command you are on a new branch "NEWBRANCH", and the first commit you create from this state will start a new history without any ancestry.
The --orphan command keeps the index and the working tree files intact in order to make it convenient for creating a new history whose trees resemble the ones from the original branch.
Since you want to create a new empty branch that has nothing to do with the original branch, you can delete all files in the new working directory:
