It's possible to do this using reflection, but I don't recommend it.
I think you're probably better off making a map of your tag names to
factory functions, then just applying the factory function to your
parameters.
(def record-factories {"Person #(Person. %1 %2)})
user=>(apply (record-factories "Person") ["Aaron" 31])
#:user.Person{:name "Aaron", :age 31}
