Embedding literal functions in macros "sorta" works. It behaves glitchy sometimes, especially if the functions are closures.
If your set of functions is not open-ended, I'd suggest simply defn'ing all of them at both client and server sides, sticking them in a map, and putting a keyword instead of an actual function object in your widget data. The keyword is used to look up the correct function at both ends. If any function is a closure over run-time-variable parameters, put the keyword and these parameters in the data, e.g. (server) (-> widget-data-map (assoc :my-fun the-function-itself) (assoc :my-fun-p1 42)) ... (client) (let [f #((:my-fun widget-data-map) p1)] ...) BTW, what did you mean by "I needed to hold more metadata than a record definition allows"? AFAIK, records (and metadata) are no more capacity-limited than are Clojure maps in general, and I'm not sure those are even limited to the 2^31 entries that are typically the maximum capacities of java.util collections. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
