With AOT compilation, everything possible has been compiled. If you want to add new code, you need to 'eval it, so you need to go through the compiler again. > > Thanks for your help > -Patrick > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
