Is there an explanation of how clojure deals with scoping and its static checking. It seems to be a hybrid of a static language and a dynamic language when it comes to compilation. I'll elaborate.
The following code wont compile: (defn x [] nil) (defn y[]) ((x)) however this code will compile: (defn foo[] (defn x[] nil)) (defn y[]) ((x)) but calling y before foo fails with a runtime exception. Also, the following code: (println "hello") (defn -main [args] (println "world")) prints "hello" at compile time and also "hello world" at runtime. My conclusions from this is that the static symbol checker is actually fairly stupid and is just there to provide some simple sanity, and that all toplevel code in a namespace is executed at compile time AND at runtime.
