This SO thread seems to describe it well: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7552632/what-does-static-do-in-clojure Is there anything you're still unsure about? > 5. since when does one need to use ^:dynamic on vars to be able to use > (binding [...]) to rebind them thread-locally? Clojure in Action has a nice > example of a simple mocking framework that uses this feature but without > dynamic, but it is about clj 1.2 I think. 1.3 seems to require it though. You're quite right, this changed in 1.3. It's even the first entry in the 1.3 changelog: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/clojure-1.3.0/changes.txt which reads: 1.1 Earmuffed Vars are No Longer Automatically Considered Dynamic The old convention was that vars surrounded with *earmuffs* were automatically considered dynamic and appropriate for a (binding [...]) form. Now, everything must be explicitly made dynamic using ^:dynamic. Phil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
