That's it, that's exactly what I needed to complete this example. I'm pretty pumped because you guys have shown me a way to do it without macros and without manually managing a quoted tree structure.
If it's okay, could somebody explain the difference between what's happening here: user> (def my-func (list + 1 2)) #'user/my-func user> (my-func) ; Evaluation aborted. and here: user> (def my-func (list + 1 2)) #'user/my-func user> (eval my-func) 3 I don't really understand how: user>(my-func) is NOT eval on my-func in the REPL. My understanding is the first item in the list is treated as a function, with the rest of the list passed as arguments. Wouldn't the REPL just be calling eval internally on everything you type in?
