SLIME doesn't handle it at all; it just sends strings to the Lisp process (Clojure, in this case) and gets strings back. > If I select the "foo" inside the let, I want the local one. > > How does the running image figure that out?

To answer your question, the Lisp process just evaluates forms in order as it encounters them. So first "foo" is defined to be 1, then it's redefined to be 2. Remember, Clojure is a compiler, not an interpreter. The compiler doesn't remember syntax. There is no "running image" in the Smalltalk sense. So the 100% perfect refactoring you have in mind may not be possible without reimplementing a large portion of Clojure itself. -Stuart Sierra --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
