#() syntax can accept as many arguments as you like. For example, you
can define partial using #():
(defn partial [f & args]
#(apply f (concat args %&)))

The reader notation is limited to the arity of the number of arguments
provided. partial allows variable arity.
Check out pages 67-68 of "Clojure Programming".

Every literal instance of `fn` or `#()` compiles to a new class definition.
This is only at compile time: once the code is running, each execution of
the `fn` expression merely creates an instance of that class.
partial is implemented in terms of `fn`, so every usage of `partial` merely
creates
Someone once mentioned that partials are more performant. i.e. (partial
println "foo") is better than #(println "foo" %). I can't remember why,
something about creating classes under the covers, I believe. Hopefully
someone can chime in.
Personally, I used to use #(... %) due to it being less char
One of the best examples of partial that I've seen is in the
debug-repl...look it up on github and see how it is being used there in
the main function that starts the debug repl...basically every time you
invoke the debug-repl within the same repl session you're going to have
different local bi
Hi,
What is the idiomatic use of partial. I understand it helps create
