Why does (moo1) succeeds but( moo2) fails? Both seem to evaluate to same data-structure except moo2 has namespaces. The error message is cryptic but it seems moo2 is failing on clojure.core/simple-symbol? which seems like a symbol without a namespace. How can I make a symbol without a namespace in syntax quoting? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
