为什么ClojureScript原子没有实现完整的协议?

swap!函数是Clojure工具箱中最常用的工具之一,它会instance?进行检查。我们被告知在编程中避免实现类型检查的条件,更喜欢多态(协议)。奇怪的是,ClojureScript没有直接对原子实现ISwap协议,而是在公共swap! api中,只有在检查主题是否为原子后才会回到协议上。

我认为这种策略必须是出于性能原因而使用,因为原子是swap!和许多其他原子方法的主要用例。这是对的吗?

我本来希望实现一个atom的api作为实际协议的一部分,这样就不需要这样做了。

(defn swap!
  "Atomically swaps the value of atom to be:
  (apply f current-value-of-atom args). Note that f may be called
  multiple times, and thus should be free of side effects.  Returns
  the value that was swapped in."
  ([a f]
     (if (instance? Atom a)
       (reset! a (f (.-state a)))
       (-swap! a f)))
  ([a f x]
     (if (instance? Atom a)
       (reset! a (f (.-state a) x))
       (-swap! a f x)))
  ([a f x y]
     (if (instance? Atom a)
       (reset! a (f (.-state a) x y))
       (-swap! a f x y)))
  ([a f x y & more]
     (if (instance? Atom a)
       (reset! a (apply f (.-state a) x y more))
       (-swap! a f x y more))))

它看起来与性能相关:http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJS-760

  

使用-reset添加IAtom协议!方法和cljs.core / reset中的Atom快速路径。

最新的chrome和firefox版本减速约20-30%。较旧的Firefox版本受到高达60-70%的影响。

在票证的下方,决定将IAtom分成两个协议:IReset和ISwap。但这是大卫带来的实现,它进行了类型检查,我想是为了提高速度。

不幸的是,目前还不清楚为什么没有让Atom实现IReset(和ISwap),也不清楚为什么不寻找这些东西。目前还不清楚原始补丁是如何工作的。它基本上是reset!的实施,并将其置于instance检查之下,并为其添加了-reset!路径:

票证是双重性质没有帮助:性能是一个问题(虽然不清楚以什么方式:“原子运行速度不够快”,或“使用重置的其他东西!运行速度不够快” ?)和设计问题(“我们想要一个IAtom协议”)。我认为问题是其他实现必须经受验证并通知观察者成本,即使它们不是真正的原子。我希望它更清楚。

我不喜欢Clojure / Script中提交的一件事是它们不是很具描述性。我希望他们更像内核,并提供适当的背景信息,这样人们(比如我们)试图弄清楚事情是如何产生更多有用的信息。
