Hi all, I feel like a bloody noob for having to ask this (I've been coding C++ for years but Clojure, Lisp and Java are all new territory for me) but I'm missing something obvious and basic here and I'm still struggling with the syntax a bit.
I'm trying to learn clojure by simply translating an example app from the Apache POI project. I'm attempting to create a dummy Excel spreadsheet. The code below is cut down a bit from the code I'm trying to run; I'm just trying to demonstrate the issue that I'm having. This code compiles just fine but when I run it, I see all of the println message except "In init-sheet". So it looks like init-sheet is never getting called. Would someone please give me a little guidance as to why the function is not getting invoked? Is this something to do with lazy evaluation? **** ;; calendardemo ;; 29 January 2009 ;; Onorio Catenacci ;Clojure version of CalendarDemo app originally done by Yegor Kozlov ;Define namespace for app and include needed libraries (ns name.catenacci.calendardemo (:import (org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel)) (:import (org.apache.poi.ss.util CellRangeAddress)) (:import (org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel)) (:import (org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel Font)) (:import (org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel HSSFWorkbook)) (:import (java.util Calendar)) (:import (java.io FileOutputStream)) ) (def debugging true) ;Constant for days of the week (def days ["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"]) (if debugging (println days)) ;Constant for months (def months ["January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December"]) (if debugging (println months)) ;hold the main calendar instance (def cal (.
