jolt-gotchas
Recurring pitfalls and their fixes discovered across all implementation phases.
PHM/Set Metadata Key Leakage
PHM and set internal keys (:jolt/deftype, :cnt, :buckets, :_meta, :jolt/type, :phm) leak into pairs/keys iteration. Must filter in merge, merge-with, keys, vals, and print-collection.
(when (and (not= k :jolt/deftype) (not= k :cnt)
(not= k :buckets) (not= k :_meta)
(not= k :jolt/type) (not= k :phm)) ...)
Keywords with # Are Invalid Janet Literals
:#inst, :#uuid cause parse errors. Use dynamic table construction:
(let [dr @{}] (put dr (keyword "#inst") fn) dr)
Janet break Only Works in Loops
Does NOT work inside let. Use (var found nil) + (set found val) (break) pattern.
Bare Tuples in eval Are Function Calls
(eval [1 2 3]) calls 1 as function. Use ['tuple 1 2 3] in data-structure emitter.
Janet case for Multi-Arity
Janet lacks Clojure-style multi-arity defn. Use (defn f [& args] (case (length args) 1 ... 2 ...)).
core-renames + core-fn-values Must Stay in Sync
Both tables must be updated together when adding core fns. Missing entries = silent nil returns. "-" is core-sub NOT core--.
set! Field Mutation Reader Quirk
(set! (.-x obj) val) parses as array with .-x symbol head — not as standalone .-x symbol. Check for this case before the (. obj -field) shorthand.
