Closures are dependent upon their lexical environment. While you can serialize the code they contain, you can't serialize their whole lexical environment, so when you load them back in, there's no guarantee that they'll behave the same way. It's probably possible to serialize them in a way that would only work for functions that don't rely on their enclosed scope, but this is a pretty severe limitation. -Phil --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
