here is my code: (comment Sample clojure source file ) (ns com.yourcompany.defpackage (:gen-class))
(defmacro macro-hello [] `"hello") (defn -main [] (println (eval '(= 0 0))) ;works (println (eval '(com.yourcompany.defpackage/macro-hello))) ;works (println (eval `(macro-hello))) ;works (println (eval '(macro-hello))) ;does not work ) seems that backquote resolves namespace while quote doesn't. Can you point me in the right direction concerning backquote and quote?
