I found find
to do what I wanted. No idea if there is a function that maps to (all)
.
I agree that the docstring doesn't seem to match the actual behavior depending on specific arguments.
But I don't know what you mean by "return value isn't very useful":
$ janet
Janet 1.32.1-9142f38c linux/x64/gcc - '(doc)' for help
repl:1:> (some neg? [1 2 3 8])
nil
repl:2:> (some neg? [1 2 3 8 -1])
true
Doesn't this tell you something that was not necessarily known before the call?
But I don't know what you mean by "return value isn't very useful":
I mean (some ...)
can easily just return true
or false
.
If the language was starting from scratch, may be a different choice might have been nicer.
Not so clear what the implications of changing behavior are at this point. But who knows...
how do i move this to /discussions/
I don't know -- I don't see an option in my view of this issue.
Perhaps it's reserved for some folks (like members of the janet-lang org)?
Is this intended? The return value isn't very useful this way.
