This whole discussion makes me think you're trying to teach Clojure in a Scheme-like way, which maybe isn't the best approach.
In Clojure, it is rare to need quoted lists and symbols. Instead of 'hello, you would use :hello. Instead of '(1 2 3), you would use [1 2 3]. So the whole notion of quoting can be avoided with beginners, and doesn't typically need to be introduced until you get to macros. This is good because quoting can be a surprisingly subtle and tricky topic. Much easier to work with and teach self-evaulating expressions. If you really need a list, I'd recommend teaching it as (list 1 2 3), and only much later teaching quote as a sort of shortcut. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
