Akar
A first-class pattern matching library for Clojure, emphasizing simplicity and abstraction.
What is Akar?
Akar is a pattern matching library for Clojure that implements patterns as first-class functions, allowing them to be composed, abstracted, and manipulated like any other value. It solves the problem of rigid or limited pattern matching in Clojure by providing a flexible, functional approach with a convenient syntactic layer for common use cases.
Clojure developers who need expressive and reusable pattern matching capabilities in their functional programming projects, such as data transformation, XML/HTML parsing, or complex conditional logic.
Developers choose Akar for its first-class treatment of patterns, which enables higher abstraction and composition compared to traditional pattern matching libraries, while maintaining simplicity and seamless integration with Clojure's functional paradigm.
