-> is simply a code rewrite macro. You can use macroexpand-1 to see how the rewrite is done: user=> (macroexpand-1 '(-> {:a 1} (keyword "a"))) (keyword {:a 1} "a") As Sunil said, you can get the desired behaviour by adding parentheses: user=> (macroexpand-1 '(-> {:a 1} ((keyword "a")))) ((keyword "a") {:a 1}) In this simple case, a simple get would be sufficient: user=> (get {:a 1} (keyword "a")) 1 ...but I guess the code you posted was only the minimal case to reproduce the error. Sometimes, get-in can also be an alternative to ->. // raek -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
