m-tea question
by
Vladimir Vitvitskiy
((-> (return "me") (m-tea "you")))
We call m-tea with one parameter "you" (seems to be name) while we have declared this functions with two parameters. How does it work ?
Thanks

Eric Scrivner
This is a convenience operator for composing "thread" a value through a series of functions. -> Uses the first value as the first parameter to the functions which follow it. There is also a variant ->> which uses the first value as the last parameter to the functions that follow it.
So
((-> (return "me") (m-tea "you")))
Is really be evaluated as:
((m-tea (return "me") "you"))
