Hi Alex, > You can see the special cases of nil, false, and true in the LispReader here > if you're curious: > https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/LispReader.java#L393-L413
I think it's not the special case of nil, false and true what's causing me headache. I'm having difficulties wrapping my head around following: ;; First quoting doesn't change the type: user=> (= (type 42) (type (quote 42))) true ;; But consequent quoting changes the type. Ugh ??? user=> (= (type 42) (type (quote (quote 42)))) false My conclusion: a state has been introduced to the computation. (presumably by the quote) Or am I missing here something?
