Ah I understand now. That's a very useful technique for recursive backquotes. I'm going to be using it constantly now. Until I can reason about recursive backquotes in my head at least.
My macro is a little simplified. It only works for functions that take no arguments. With a minimal change, you can write a version of defblockfn that accepts functions that take arguments. This is as far as Ruby takes the concept, and no further. This allows us to write, for example: (my_map list_of_numbers [num] (* num num)) It's up to you to judge whether this looks nice enough to consider using it. In my opinion, this is starting to look a little unappealing. -Patrick --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
