I just did this :
(defn describe-path [path] `(there is a ,(second path) going ,(first path) from here.)) which gives me : (describe-path (list "left" "right")) (user/there user/is user/a (clojure.core/second user/path) user/going (clojure.core/first user/path) user/from here.) Sure, it prepends the namespace to the symbol. Is that the issue ? I thats the the case I guess you can use something like (concat...).
