Specter - Overcome Your Fear of Nested Clojure Data

Explore the power of Specter, a library designed to simplify and enhance the manipulation of nested data structures in Clojure. Learn how this innovative tool abstracts away the complexities of data structure navigation, making it highly composable and efficient. Discover how Specter can be used to query and transform various Clojure data types, including maps, sequences, records, and sets, with ease and improved performance. Gain insights into how Specter's protocols can be extended to work with any data structure. Through this 42-minute conference talk at Strange Loop, delve into the advantages of using Specter over traditional Clojure methods, including its ability to run up to 5 times faster than update-in. Presented by Nathan Marz, creator of Apache Storm and Cascalog, this talk will revolutionize your approach to handling complex nested data in Clojure, making it an essential addition to your programming toolkit.
