;; File : object-via-closure.lfe
;; Author : Duncan McGreggor
;; Purpose : Demonstrating simple OOP with closures
;; The simple object system demonstrated below shows how to do the following:
;; * create objects
;; * call methods on those objects
;; * have methods which can call other methods
;; * update the state of an instance variable
;;
;; Note, however, that his example does not demonstrate inheritance.
;;
;; To use the code below in LFE, do the following:
;;
;; $ ./bin/lfe
;;
;; Load the file and create a fish-class instance:
;;
;; lfe> (slurp "examples/object-via-closure.lfe")
;; #(ok object-via-closure)
;; lfe> (set mommy-fish (fish-class "Carp"))
;; #Fun<lfe_eval.10.91765564>
;;
;; Execute some of the basic methods:
;;
;; lfe> (send mommy-fish 'species)
;; "Carp"
;; lfe> (send mommy-fish 'move 17)
;; The Carp swam 17 feet!
;; ok
;; lfe> (send mommy-fish 'id)
;; "c0ec94b9de24657c51ba180768542b27"
;;
;; Now let's look at "modifying" state data (e.g., children counts):
;;
;; lfe> (send mommy-fish 'children)
;; ()
;; lfe> (send mommy-fish 'children-count)
;; 0
;; lfe> (set `(,mommy-fish ,baby-fish-1) (send mommy-fish 'reproduce))
;; (#Fun<lfe_eval.10.91765564> #Fun<lfe_eval.10.91765564>)
;; lfe> (send mommy-fish 'id)
;; "c0ec94b9de24657c51ba180768542b27"
;; lfe> (send baby-fish-1 'id)
;; "5f31a47f000b5d173faa2793ea2ec876"
;; lfe> (send mommy-fish 'children-count)
;; 1
;; lfe> (set `(,mommy-fish ,baby-fish-2) (send mommy-fish 'reproduce))
;; (#Fun<lfe_eval.10.91765564> #Fun<lfe_eval.10.91765564>)
;; lfe> (send baby-fish-2 'id)
;; "2f40b14a4394f3b7a57d4e9048bbb19e"
;; lfe> (send mommy-fish 'children-count)
;; 2
;; lfe> (send mommy-fish 'info)
;; (#(id "c0ec94b9de24657c51ba180768542b27")
;; #(species "Carp")
;; #(children
;; ("5f31a47f000b5d173faa2793ea2ec876" "2f40b14a4394f3b7a57d4e9048bbb19e")))
