(defmacro encode [get-key] (let [body (eval get-key)] `(~@body)))
It turns out this is actually the macro I'm looking for, but I still don't want to use eval :( Honestly, it looks to me that you are concocting something overly complicated. Are you sure that a combination of anonymous functions and dynamic variables won't suffice? Can you, in broad strokes, describe what you want to achieve? Imagine I have a config of strings and ints. I'm building some strings based on the config and it can change. But now I have a list of different kinds of configs and I need to do parsing with them. For example: (def config {:delimiter "_"}) ;;;...elsewhere in code (map #(s/join (:delimiter config) %) strings) Looks well and good, but happens when I have a list of configs and the strings don't join together the same way at all, and they all depend on different parts of state of the function in which you're joining them? Well, that's why I chose to do something like this (def config1 {:key `(str "do something horrible complicated here" (:blah ~'state) (:key ~'other-state) (:something ~'evenmorestate) }) (defmacro encode [ncode get-key] (let [body (eval get-key)] `(~@body))) so that I can (encode (:key config1)) instead of something like this (encode ((:key config1) args args args args args args)) because I want to inline the code to be interpreted once it's inline. So is there a way to do this new encode macro without eval? (let [body (eval get-key)]...) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
