So, am I incorrect in seeing a similarity between the “data > code” mentality
and the rise of XML?
I see it as the difference between:
{:name "Sean" :age 52}
And:
public class Person {
private String name;
private Long age;
public Person( String name, Long age ) {
setName( name );
setAge( age );
}
public String getName() { return this.name; }
public Long getAge() { return this.age; }
public void setName( String name ) { this.name = name; }
public void setAge( Long age ) { this.age = age; }
}
Even if you made Person a value class by removing the setters, that’s a lot of
code obscuring a simple data structure. And with the data structure, you can
use any Clojure sequence function or hash map function, whereas with a Person
type, you’re stuck with the API presented.
