Using macros it's possible to add "new syntax" to the language which is extremely hard (if possible at all) to achieve in non-homoiconic languages. As an exercise, try writing the `or' function in Java and then take a look at the Clojure implementation - https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/clj/clojure/core.clj#L789 Regards, BG -- Baishampayan Ghose b.ghose at gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
