tweaked a bit. now exposed is: * main/ctx-atom - atom of ctx in babashka.main/main's let * main/start-repl! - babashka.impl.repl/start-repl!

may be this is a bug?

I think it is. I want to revise syntax quote anyway since it doesn’t support nesting right now

I've found correctly implementing syntax quotes is one of the harder parts of writing a lisp

@sogaiu that bug is fixed now

@plexus I have the same experience. I recently found out that syntax-quote is a property of the reader and not so much of the compiler, so I might move it from sci to edamame, if possible

@borkdude thanks!

I'm now in progress of moving syntax-quote to edamame, but this is only to fix the

``x 

it does seem to be on the rarer side

may be another thing?

Could not resolve symbol: a-fn# [at line 7, column 21]

fwiw, it did work in jvm clojure

Good catch. I’ll write a unit test for that with the new edamame syntax-quote

borkdude@MBP2019 ~/Dropbox/dev/clojure/babashka/sci (nested-syntax-quote) $ lein run "$(cat /tmp/test.clj)"
:smile

(still WIP, but it seems it now works)

$ lein run "\`\`x"
(quote user/x)

$ clj -e "\`\`x"
(quote user/x)

nice!

was surprised to find out that in clojure (read-string "`8") is not the same as (read-string "'8")

$ rlwrap lein bb
user=> `(let [x# 1] `~x#)
(clojure.core/let [x__11641__auto__ 1] x__11641__auto__)

btw, this is a nice way to inspect what clojure actually generates while reading syntax quotes:

'`[1 2 3]
(clojure.core/apply clojure.core/vector (clojure.core/seq (clojure.core/concat (clojure.core/list 1) (clojure.core/list 2) (clojure.core/list 3))))

syntaxQuote() in LispReader.java? 🙂

i've been using read-string:

(read-string "'`[1 2 3]")
user=> (quote (clojure.core/apply clojure.core/vector (clojure.core/seq (clojure.core/concat (clojure.core/list 1) (clojure.core/list 2) (clojure.core/list 3)))))

i think i am missing the point 🙂

The point is that you can just paste this in the REPL:

user=> '`[1 2 3]
(clojure.core/apply clojure.core/vector (clojure.core/seq (clojure.core/concat (clojure.core/list 1) (clojure.core/list 2) (clojure.core/list 3))))

ah, thanks
