Multiple vars can be bound to a single value. A var without a value is qualified as being unbound. The variable is your focus point here, you do not care much about the value itself. Hard to qualify a value as being unbound, it would not be a value anymore....
So I guess the relationship is driven by the var, not the value, it's like our sweethearts, they drive the show and they can unbind us at any time :)))) Luc On Thu, 2009-06-04 at 08:28 -0400, Andrew Wagner wrote: > Hey ya'all! > > > > Just got my copy of Programming Clojure last night (great book, kudos > Stuart!).
