This snippet on exceptions is obscure. How, exactly, does :default work as a catch-all here, and does it have wider application? I know it is used in multi-methods, but have not found any other references to it.
;; JavaScript unfortunately allows you to throw anything. You can handle
;; this in ClojureScript with the following.
(try
(throw (js/Error. "Oops"))
(catch :default e
e))
I have had to track down the following syntax once before, and I think it deserves more explanation.
;; We can use property access with `set!` to change the fill color of a
;; a canvas rendering context.
(set! (.-fillColor ctxt) "#ffffff")
I'm talking about the .-fillColor.
