Well, they are correct from a user's point of view. One never uses the real special forms fn* and let*. > If fn and let are really special forms and not macros, could you > explain why? fn and let (and also loop) are macros around the real special forms fn* and let* (and loop*) that add support for destructuring. For example, (let [[a b] [1 2]] (+ a b)) expands to (let* [vec__8592 [1 2] a (clojure.core/nth vec__8592 0 nil) b (clojure.core/nth vec__8592 1 nil)] (+ a b)) where the destructuring has been transformed to "normal" code already.
