Recursive rules

[ljos]

I was just wondering, is it possible to get kibit to do recursive rules? What I am thinking is something like this

(:c (:b (:a {:a {:b {:c 1}}})))
  => (get-in {:a {:b {:c 1}}} [:a :b :c])

This would require a recursive lookup to see if it makes sense to do the translation.

There probably are other rules, but this is the first one I could think of.

@ljos can you describe what you mean by a recursive rule? If I understand correctly, you're suggesting that multiple keyword lookups could be identified and replaced with a get-in?

Oh, wow. It is more than 2 years since I posted this. It seems like that is what I meant when I wrote it. Though, I am also talking about /other/ rules... I am not sure, but I might also be thinking about something like

(+ 1 ( + 2 (+ 3 4)))
  => (+ 1 2 3 4)

and in cases like this where the operation is commutable and it is possible to flatten the tree structure.
