How about a macro like this?
--
(defmacro my-case [e & clauses]
`(condp = ~e
~...@clauses))

(defn panda-3 [x]
(my-case (type x)
java.lang.String "HELLZ YEAH IT'S A STRING!"
java.lang.Integer "it's an integer..."))
--
I'll just stick with condp though. Thanks David

Since (type x) returns a Class object, you could do this:
user=> (defn panda[x] (case (.getName (typ

the docs for case say the test constants are not evaluated.

using multi methods (I think).
However, I will describe the problem anyways.
I want to be able to call a function that will take different actions
depending on the type of in the input.
