Hi, use the factory function.
Clojure 1.3.0 user=> (defrecord car [year manufacturer]) user.car user=> (defn create [stuff] (stuff 1982 "Mercedes Benz")) #'user/create user=> (create ->car) #user.car{:year 1982, :manufacturer "Mercedes Benz"} You can't pass car. around at runtime because it is a class. And instantiating a class is hard-wired in the byte code. Hence the actual class must be known at compile time. ->car however is a normal clojure function. So you can pass it around as you like.
