@lloyda2 posted on Twitter: (reduce 'and '(false true)) => true ...Huh?
I must admit, it looked odd to me... but I realized (after some REPL
experimentation) this seems to be equivalent to ('some-symbol
:some-key :some-default) and that attempts (and fails) to somehow
lookup :some-key in 'some-symbol and thus returns the default
supplied, :some-default - or, in the OP's case ('and false true) which
yields true.
Can someone provide a bit more insight into why clojure.lang.Symbol
behaves like a collection and what, if any elements does it have? It
just seems like weird behavior and I can't imagine what use case this
addresses...
