Comment on Variety by Matt

I’ve never got around to working with Lisp, just never had the opportunity, but recently I have been getting interested in Clojure, though haven’t found an excuse to use it for anything yet.

I was reminiscing over Sinclair Basic a few weeks ago and was reminded that it didn’t even have an else, just simply:

IF expr THEN cmd

I don’t remember, but I assume this led to a lot of:

IF expr THEN cmd
IF NOT expr THEN cmd

It also didn’t have blocks, so you could either do it all on one line:

IF expr THEN cmd1: cmd2: cmd3

Or use a goto:

If expr THEN GO TO 100

Spaghetti.

I’ve never seen “eif”. Lisp does away with the keyword altogether:

(if expr expr-if-true expr-if-false)

@Nitin – Thanks for the comment and thanks for the link to your project. If it had existed two years ago it looks like exactly what I needed I shall remember for the future…

Hi Matthew,
This post was an interesting read on how Apache Commons’s solution can be integrated with your XAResource class. I also note that you have pointed to resource adapter, connection etc.

I had come across this blog many months earlier and since it is quite related to a project I have been working on, I thought I would share with you and others. The project is called XADisk (https://xadisk.dev.java.net/) and is open source for interested folks to look into. Comments/suggestions are always welcome.

Thanks Matthew again for your efforts on this enlightening post…

Thank you so much. Just what I was looking for.

At first I wasn’t converting my timestamp to UTC, but after I fixed that, everything worked great.
