Equivalent to clojure.contrib's show?

There used to be this useful utility called show in clojure.contrib. Now, that it's deprecated, is there an equivalent to it?

Thanks!

Solution

  • De-constructing show to be more "simple", making available distinct pieces of re-usable functionality, was discussed by Stuart Halloway in a talk he give on clojure simplicity.

    The resulting code makes use of clojure.reflect/reflect and clojure.pprint/print-table and standard clojure filter:

    (require 'clojure.reflect)
(require 'clojure.pprint)

(->> (clojure.reflect/reflect java.lang.String)
     :members
     (filter #(.startsWith (str (:name %)) "last"))
     (clojure.pprint/print-table))
