You are altering the root binding, rather than the current (possibly dynamic) binding of the variable. The two may be distinct, since the current bindings may be thread local, such as by `clojure.core/binding` (see https://clojure.org/reference/vars).
Note that you can `alter-var-root` of non-dynamic vars too, though you should be careful with that (and usually avoid it altogether). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
