[5]) true And you can put macro "calls" in #(), not just function calls. I know weren't really claiming otherwise, it's just a possible point of confusion. Perhaps: Answer: Because it expands to "(fn [x] ([x]))". #() always expands to include parens around the expression you give it. You might try #(vector x) instead. --Chouser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
