In 1.2: user=> (macroexpand '(defn foo [] 2)) (def foo (.withMeta (clojure.core/fn foo ([] 2)) (.meta (var foo)))) It's clearer if we remove the metadata and explicit namespace stuff: (def foo (fn foo ([] 2))) While in git master we have: (def foo (fn ([] 2))) This is the commit that changed it: http://github.com/clojure/clojure/commit/52adb74f5335c8256f6468581028f44220547dca It's not mentioned explicitly in the commit message, so my guess was it was unintentionally clobbered when the metadata stuff was removed. Unless the idea is to no longer treat recursive calls as a special static binding case? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
