Can someone please explain? I also stumbled over this issue. Please read this sentence from the "Metadata" section on clojure.org (http://clojure.org/metadata) > "Symbols and collections support metadata" I also missed this. It's pretty subtle. Since 10 is neither a Symbol nor a Collection. You get the error. You can set the metadata of the Var: ---8<--- user=> (def #^{:Some :MetaData} v 10) #'user/v user=> (meta #'v) {:Some :MetaData, :file "NO_SOURCE_FILE", :name v, :ns #<Namespace: user>, :line 1} ---8<--- Hope this helps.
