Regarding your def question, it never makes sense to use def inside of
a function.

In Javascript, you might do this:

{
   var a = 1;
   var b = 2;

  ...some statements that might use a and b...
}

Nothing outside of the curly braces can use those definitions of a and
b.  The let form is a similar
thing;

(let [a 1
      b  2]
   (... some stuff that might use a and b...)
)

Nothing past that last closing parenthesis (the one that matches the
open parenthesis before the "let") knows about the definitions of a
and b.  I think the term "form" just means "stuff between
parentheses".
