proteus
A Clojure library providing local mutable variables with unsynchronized, unboxed performance for in-scope mutation.
What is proteus?
Proteus is a Clojure library that provides local mutable variables through a macro called `let-mutable`. It solves performance issues in numerical and iterative operations by offering unsynchronized, unboxed mutable variables that are confined to a lexical scope, making them faster than Clojure's standard mutable references like atoms or volatiles.
Clojure developers working on performance-sensitive code, such as numerical computations, loops, or algorithms where mutable state within a limited scope can provide significant speed improvements.
Developers choose Proteus for its ability to deliver near-native performance for mutable operations while maintaining safety through scope confinement, avoiding the overhead of synchronization and boxing present in other Clojure mutable constructs.
