I'm not an expert but I believe REPL does compile the forms you enter to bytecode. It compiles an fn form into a JVM class that implements IFn. It also compiles a quoted form (such as `(fn ...) ) but this time it takes the form of a list (as in (list ...) ), IOW it's still data after it is compiled. The latter is executed directly and the former is evaluated (turned into bytecode and then executed perhaps). If I'm wrong on any of these, I'd like to be corrected. I also realize AOT means something slightly different. Something compiled before REPL is started, right? -- Kind Regards, Atamert Ölçgen -+- --+ +++ www.muhuk.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
