Hi,

(let bindings form) is a special form. As I understand it, let can be 
reformulated in terms of functions e.g.

 (let [x 2] (* x 20)) equivalent to ((fn [x] (* x 20)) 2)
(let [x 3 y (* x x)] (- y x)) equivalent to ((fn [x] ((fn [x y] (- y x)) x 
(* x x))) 3)
 
So if we can always reformulate in this was, why cant let be implemented as 
a macro rather than a special form?

Where have I gone wrong in my understanding here?

Andy
