The numbers are just a global incrementing counter (the same one used for gensym). The reason for them is to make the names of the classes unique, for example you can define your function foo twice: (defn foo [] nil) (def baz foo) (defn foo [] 5) A more common example is anonymous functions (fn [] ...). These all have the same name "fn", but they obviously need to be written to different class files. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
