Hi Henrik, There is a long-standing philosophical position in Clojure that it should not be possible to write programs that cannot be read by other users. Because of this position, I do not believe there is any chance of this moving forward in Clojure itself.
Tagged literals allow creating new data that can still be read and interpreted even if a reader is not available so they give a certain measure of this capability without crossing that line.
