Yep, that's the problem. The library in question (https://github.com/phillord/tawny-owl) is meant to be usable by people who don't want to know that they are writing clojure. > > dynamic scope is another story though...I very much intentionally stayed away > from it! > It's useful, but scary. It mixes with laziness badly, but then, so do exceptions. It's nice, though for use in test fixtures.... (defn ontology-reasoner-fixture [tests] (binding [r/*reasoner-progress-monitor* r/reasoner-progress-monitor-silent] (tests))) for instance. This prevents the code from either poping up a GUI or generating lots of spam output, which is not good in a test.
