swell

A CL style restart library for clojure.

Given that the JVM has exceptions, which can be thrown by non-clojure code, restarts in clojure will be limited to catch points defined within clojure. Swell initially targets catch points defined using slingshot.

For an introduction to restarts in CL, see PCL.

Usage

Provides handler-bind, restart-case and invoke-restart which are clojure versions of their CL brethren.

    (require '[swell.api :as swell])

    (let [f (fn []
            (swell/restart-case
             [restart1 (fn [] 1)]
             (inc
              (swell/restart-case
               [:restart2 (fn [] 3)]
               (slingshot/throw+ ::e)))))]
      (is (= 4 (swell/handler-bind [keyword? :restart2] (f))))
      (is (= 1 (swell/handler-bind [keyword? 'restart1] (f)))))
