The page says the following: (def pointless (fn [n] n)) "Whatever is passed to this macro---a list, a symbol, whatever---will be returned unmolested and then evaluated after the call. Effectively, calling this macro is pointless:" (pointless (+ 3 5)) ; pointless returns the list (+ 3 5), which is then evaluated in its place(+ 3 5) ; may as well just write this instead But actually, doesn't (+ 3 5) get evaluated *before *pointless ever sees it? Or am I mistaken? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
