im-rs VS clojure-toolbox.com

They're using hash array mapped tries. I don't have my own personal implementation, I have been using https://github.com/bodil/im-rs until I can get around to making my own implementation (not that I really need to, but it would be a fun exercise).

Functions generate a hash based on a unique id generated for the function, plus the hash of any captured variables, and a hash of the pointer address to the function). That is off the top of my head though so I could be missing some details.

Hashing maps is tricky! With a sufficiently deep hash map you can run into problems since that invokes an equality check as well - at least how I handle it, is that you just attempt to naively hash the keys and values of the hash map, to create a hash code for that object. If the equality check ends up with a sufficiently large depth, eq returns false so we don't stack overflow.

Too late my friend ;) https://github.com/bodil/im-rs

There’s also im.

rc/Cargo.toml specifies paths such as ../src/lib.rs and ../build.rs to point at the same source files

If you indeed do care about access to historical versions of data, take a look at the I’m crate: https://github.com/bodil/im-rs

> The getting started page remains as bad as I remember it with links to discontinued Github projects.

I assume you mean https://clojure.org/guides/getting_started. That page has just a handful of links and none of them lead to unmaintained/discontinued projects.

If you mean something else, please be more concrete. "The page has bad stuff" is not actionable, and it's hard to distinguish unmaintained/discontinued/"dead" from complete, even when there are still open issues and users complaining.

Same comment about https://www.clojure-toolbox.com. Keeping track of everything is a _lot_ of work that's IMO unreasonable to expect the author of the toolbox to be doing all the time. As the web page mentions in its footer, "Library suggestions can be submitted [at] the project page" - https://github.com/weavejester/clojure-toolbox.com. And people are doing that, and their suggestions are being taken into account.

> For example the getting started for Pedestal, one of the main web libraries has its Getting Started page last updated seven years ago? http://pedestal.io/guides/hello-world

And?.. Pedestal is stable, its main feature set hasn't changed in years and probably won't change - why would the guide need to be updated?
