I thought so. Now if your code has stuff like: (defn foo [x] (eval `(fn [quux] blah blah blah quux blah blah ~x blah))) then every call to foo generates new classes and loads them at runtime. Part of why eval should be used sparingly. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
