It comes up when I would otherwise use (take-while pred coll), but I need to include the first item for which (pred item) is false.

(take-while pos? [1 2 0 3]) => (1 2) (take-until zero? [1 2 0 3]) => (1 2 0)

Patch: clj-1451.patch

  • Includes transducer arity of take-until
  • Includes inclusion in transducer generative tests

I'd like to propose {{take-through}} and {{drop-through}} as alternative names. I think "through" communicates more clearly how these differ from {{take-while}} and {{drop-while}}.

Both patches CLJ-1451-drop-until.patch and CLJ-1451-take-until.patch dated Jun 20 2014 no longer apply cleanly to latest Clojure master due to some changes committed earlier today. I haven't checked whether they are straightforward to update, but would guess that they merely require updating a few lines of diff context.

See the section "Updating stale patches" at http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Developing Patches for suggestions on how to update patches.

Would be nice to cover the transducer case too.

Actually I like take/drop-through as well

Michael, no volatile/state is necessary in the transducer, like take-while. Just wrap in 'reduced to terminate

a) you're clearly right about take-until

b) seriously I don't know what I was thinking with my take-until implementation, I'm going to claim lack of sleep.

c) I'm confused about how to make drop-until work without a volatile

Ghadi and I discussed this and couldn't think of a use case for drop-until. Are there any?

Here's a new take-until patch, generative tests included.

Open questions:

Is take-until a good name? My biggest concern is that take-until makes it sound like a slight modification of take, but this function reverses the sense of the predicate relative to take.

Michael, while JIRA can handle multiple attachments for the same ticket with the same name, it can get confusing for people trying to determine which one with the same name is meant. Could you remove or rename one of your identically-named attachments?

The patch was slightly stale so I updated to apply to master, but it's almost identical. Attribution retained.

Marked as prescreened.
