Hello Clojurers!
I'm enjoying testing Java code with Clojure and it's been a lot of fun so
far. Coming from Scheme, the transit is comfortable. However, I encountered
a big surprise when I nested def's and used them with a proxy:
(defn new* []
(def i (atom 0))
(proxy [Object] []
(toString [] (str i))))
(defn new*-let []
(let [i (atom 0)]
(proxy [Object] []
(toString [] (str i)))))
(defn mew* []
(def i (atom 0))
i)
(pprint (list (new*) (new*) (new*)
(new*-let) (new*-let) (new*-let)
(mew*) (mew*) (mew*)))
I expected to see a list of 3 * 3 elements, each element a unique Atmon
instance. But from it's printout, the first three instances are identical.
Shouldn't all versions of new* produce their own version of a
lexically-scoped i (like in Scheme), or am I missing something? Are nested
defs and lets not supposed to behave identically?
Note that the non-proxied version, mew*, makes nested def work like let.
Could this be a proxy-bug?
K.
