Others have already explained why this happens. If you really want to do something like that, then you can use "do" to get rid of the effect of the implicit parentheses: (map #(do %) '(1 2 3)) Also, since Clojure has first class vectors, you may as well use them instead of having to quote your literal lists: (map identity [1 2 3]) [...] > P.S.

If you don't want to ask here, you could try http://www.lispforum.com/ Although I think there are more Common Lisp people there than Clojure people, they are quite helpful with newbie Common Lisp questions :) I don't think anyone's posted a Clojure code question there yet. -- Michael Wood <esiot...@gmail.com> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
