I actually did this just the other day, to create a simple C-style enum macro (I assume someone has a better version; this was a learning exercise). You can see my project at www.github.com/amalloy/enum. It sounds like your problem might be constructing the symbol to define; the solution will look something like:
(let [fn-sym (->> name (str "prefix-") symbol)] `(defn ~fn-sym [args] body)) On Sep 10, 12:39 pm, icemaze <icem...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, I'm developing a small DSL with Clojure and I need to define many > similar functions.
