Since Clojure doesn't do tail call elimination implementing let atop fn would also use up stack. I believe many or all Schemes (which are required by the spec to eliminate all tail calls) do implement let in that way, but Common Lisps (where it's not promised by the spec, though some implementations with some settings will) does not, likely at least in part for the same reason. - John -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
