Hi Herwig Actually,defun just define a variadic arguments function,so it doesn't have different arities. And when using defun macro ,it walk through the body forms, find 'recur' forms and replace them with (recur (vector ...arguments)) instead.
A macroexpand-1 result of accum: (macroexpand-1 '(defun accum ([0 ret] ret) ([n ret] (recur (dec n) (+ n ret))) ([n] (recur n 0)))) => (clojure.core/defn accum {:arglists '([0 ret] [n ret] [n])} [& args__4602__auto__] (clojure.core.match/match [(clojure.core/vec args__4602__auto__)] [[0 ret]] (do ret) [[n ret]] (do (recur (vector (dec n) (+ n ret)))) [[n]] (do (recur (vector n 0))))) The core procedure is at https://github.com/killme2008/defun/blob/master/src/defun.clj#L97-107 2014-09-15 0:15 GMT+08:00 Herwig Hochleitner <hhochleit...@gmail.com>: > Hi Dennis, > > marrying core.match to defn is a pretty neat idea.
