While there is no reader syntax for the empty symbol, I agree that the StringIndexOutOfBoundsException is wonky and should be fixed. Though some might view it as a consequence of clojure's GIGO philosophy, I don't concur with such arguments, because the separation of read and eval is there for a reason. Funny: Interning the empty symbol and derefing its var works: @(intern *ns* (symbol "") "val") evaluates to "val" I would expect a ticket for this to be accepted, but receive low priority.
