load-file will compile what you've given it and then run the resulting code. A data literal results in a method being emitted by the compiler, which when run will produce the desired data structure. A large data literal may cause the method to exceed the 64KB method size limit of the class file format. If it's really just data (not containing function or macro calls you are expecting to be evaluated), just use (read ...). That will parse the file, returning a Clojure data structure without evaluating it. // ben -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
