For a def form, it's the ns that is current when the form is compiled that determines in which namespace the resulting var is created. In the first case, the defn form is compiled before the binding to (the-ns 'blah) is in effect. In the second case, the defn form is quoted and remains unevaluated while the binding form is compiled. While executing the compiled code for the binding form, eval compiles the defn form (and then executes its compiled code). In this case, the defn is compiled after the binding to (the-ns 'blah) is in effect. --Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
