Cool idea, but lack of results for `deftemplate` suggests that you're not scraping enough :) It's the non-core stuff that's more likely to need scraped examples.
Anderkent, all of the examples you see at the moment were run through a sandbox so I could capture their value and output. I would love to open it up to more forms and libraries in the future. The plan is to give users the ability to add, edit, and rate examples so things like `deftemplate` could be included. Either way, thanks for checking it out and giving feedback.
Very nice idea. I recommend trying to move to direction where you get results for 'ring', 'compojure' and 'friend', ie. examples for prominent frameworks and libraries.
IRC logfiles, mostly. You're seeing examples of code snippets typed into IRC from the last 4-5 years run in a sandbox under Clojure 1.5.1. I also ran it over the ClojureDocs s-expressions. There are a lot of examples missing (defn, def, etc. for instance) due to the fact that I didn't want to inadvertently run something evil, but FWIW there are over 30k examples of sequence functions, JVM interop, etc. In a previous comment I mentioned that my plan is to add the ability to submit, edit, bookmark, and rate examples.
RE: GitHub projects tagged "Clojure": I think exploring Codeq (https://github.com/Datomic/codeq) would be a cool way to go about doing that kind of thing.
Last time I tried codeq, the analyzer was limited to symbols defined outside of functions. The Clojurescript parser might be a better option, because the parse tree would allow indexing usages inside functions.
I also wonder if a generative testing library could be used to generate examples.
