This came up in 2014 on the mailing list https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/clojure/3yGjDO2YnjQ
And resulting enhancement requests Alex asked for: https://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1367 https://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1368 For what it's worth (though I realise we don't want to break back compatibility), I find the clojure behavior v surprising given that the parallel switch/case in Java is so frequently used for exactly this sort of const jump table. Intuitively it makes no sense for me that in this one statement you would compare the symbol and not the const value. It actively discourages naming magic constants if you don't want to fall back to slower condp or a map lookup.
