The reference manual REPL transcript <http://clojure.org/special_forms> makes it look like it is being used to retrieve the metadata: user=> ^#'mymax ->{:name mymax, :user/comment "this is the best fn ever!", :doc "mymax [xs+] gets the maximum value in xs using > ", :arglists ([x] [x y] [x y & more]) :file "repl-1", :line 126, :ns #<Namespace user >, :test #<user$fn__289 user$fn__...@20f443 >} Also, I'm not clear on why I cant get the metadata for this variable x I just defined even though meta() takes an object as argument < http://clojure.org/metadata> user=> (def #^{ :doc "some doc" } x 12) #'user/x user=> (meta x) nil user=> x 12 user=> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
