Juxt

As explained in Clojure: The Essential Reference

juxt is a Clojure function that returns a function applying multiple supplied functions to the same arguments and collecting their results in a vector.

How Clojure: The Essential Reference covers it

How deep it goes

Defines inputs, outputs, arity requirements, exceptions, and several executable patterns, but does not descend into implementation internals.

Examples

Demonstrates collection inspection, grid-neighbor generation, word decoration, formatted output, sorting, and grouping.

What it assumes

Assumes familiarity with functions, arity, collections, and higher-order operations such as map, filter, sorting, and grouping.

What you can do after

Apply juxt to build functions that return ordered vectors of several computations over shared arguments.

How it connects

Connects higher-order functions with map, filter, identity, sort-by, and group-by.
