I already apologized twice, what more do you want from me!? As penance, I will try to explain. #^ is a reader macro, documented at http://clojure.org/reader #= is another reader macro, largely undocumented, but discussed here: http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/7a24eeb982490a87/d579d881fea5b16d?#d579d881fea5b16d >> user=> (meta #^#=(array-of String) []) >> {:tag "[Ljava.lang.String;"} The whole point of this example was to attach type-hint metadata to a function arg, so the use of #^ was necessary. But usually #^ just takes a literal symbol or map, and I wanted to use the results of a function call, so I abused #= to do just that. --Chouser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
