This is a common surprise for people with previous exposure to Scheme: `def` in Clojure is always explicitly namespace-scoped. What it does is create a var with a name and intern it into the namespace with that name, not introduce a name in the current lexical scope. Nested `def`s are thus very rarely going to be what one actually want, and the behavior you’re seeing is exactly what one would expect. -Marshall -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
