Symbols happen to be functions that look themselves up in collections. 'Y is not a collection, so it returns nil. Had you had something else in function position that wasn't actually a valid function, you would have gotten a ClassCastException. jack. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
