I am not clear on what you mean by this. From a user's point of view, what is the difference between defining a function, and interning a var with a fn object as its value? user> (defn define-function [name] (intern *ns* name (fn [] (str "called a generated function: " name)))) #'user/define-function user> (some-function) ; Evaluation aborted. user> (define-function 'some-function) #'user/some-function user> (some-function) "called a generated function: some-function" Or is your point just that #'fn is a macro? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
