I tried to assign a data type to a var and then instantiate it using the var, but it doesn't seem to work:
user=> (defrecord X []) user.X user=> (X.) #:user.X{} user=> X user.X user=> (def hey X) #'user/hey user=> (hey.) java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to resolve classname: hey (NO_SOURCE_FILE:59) user=> (new X) #:user.X{} user=> (new hey) java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to resolve classname: hey (NO_SOURCE_FILE:61) user=> (apply new hey) java.lang.Exception: Unable to resolve symbol: new in this context (NO_SOURCE_FILE:62) Can anybody help me understand how to accomplish this when using the var? This will give me a generic way to instantiate the type when I know the parameters. Regards, Shantanu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
