#(f ...) expands to (fn [...] (f ...)), so #({:a %}) would be (fn [x] ({:a x})). In order for #({:a %}) to work as you want, the more common usage #(f %) would have to become #((f %)). That seems like a poor trade-off to me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
