Hi all,
I wanted to share a tiny script which allows me to query google/finance/converter from the CLI.
It's not much of a scrapper really, but I couldn't come up with a better word to describe it. It does scrap! Really! :P
Check it here:

I have two questions regarding my code:
1. Why unify requires uppercase tokens to be able to create symbols with bind? Or maybe my question is this one: Am I correctly using bind/unify? Is that the intended use?
2. I put a check to consider a get-url not giving back a proper answer. However on some runs I've noticed I get nil results like if my check was passed by. What am I doing wrong there?

Re: gocurcon: Google Currency Converter Scrapper
Using uppercase letters for variables in unification, is a convention introduced from logic programming with the Prolog language.

You are using bind with unify correctly, although instead of:
you could also use:
and in the last case your variables don't need to be in uppercase.

You are using bind with unify correctly, although instead of:
Code: Select all
(bind (unify '(From To Ammount) myArgs))
Code: Select all
(map set '(From To Ammount) myArgs))
