Calculations are Flowing!

Dark Magic Demand

Well, it's been a while getting here, but we finally have the chain reaction of calculations working in the demand service all the way up to, and including, the closed deal adjustments. I wrote quite a few tests on the closed deal adjustments because I'm working in a new language, and in order to make sure that it's working as I expect, I needed to test everything. First, in the unit tests of the taxonomy and price checks, as well as how to decompose the location data, and then in the second-level functions like closed deal option decomposition, and finally, in the top-level functions.

This is typically a ton more testing than I normally write, and in about six months, I won't be writing these tests, either. It's just that I'm really not at all sure about this clojure code, and in order to make myself feel more comfortable about it, I needed the tests. And the REPL.

But to see the logs emit the messages I expected, and the ones I didn't, was a joy to behold. This was a long time in coming, and it's been a rough and bumpy road, but it's getting a little smoother, and with this milestone, next week should prove to be a great step forward for the project.

I'm looking forward to it.
