Meikel Brandmeyer has been doing some work on one. Check it out at: http://kotka.de/projects/clojure/parser.html. I haven't looked at it too closely myself. Maybe Meikel will stop in and give you a feeling for how close/far it is from full Parsec. Tom On Feb 3, 6:42 pm, sbkogs

It means the same thing as defn except that the resulting definition is not visible outside the defining namespace. This is equivalent to (defn #^{:private true} ...). On Feb 3, 8:19 pm, Terrence Brannon metap...@gmail.com wrote: What is the significance of the dash after defn? How does it
