True, but that's more a question of the interface provided by def. The real problem is that if you want to access the vars defined by that function anywhere else, they need to be defined (if not initialized) before you can compile the code. Meaning you either have to def those vars somewhere else (outside of a function) or make sure the function gets called at least once before any access is mentioned in the code. After that, you can re-define the var in any way you like. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
