@drewverlee don't forget about kw args: (foo 0 1 :x 2)

forget about bitcoin. blockchain technology is general. also a magical wtf? what is clojure doing with it?

https://blockstack.org is blowing my little gray cell.

clojure isn’t appropriate for stuff that is intentionally CPU intensive like that, it’s easier to write java that does numerics efficiently than it is to make clojure do so

(sorry! thought i was on #off-topic )

I need a macro that takes a hashmap and an expression, and stores the expression as the key in a new hash-map and the evaluation of the expression as its value. So, for example

(bla {} (+ 1 1)) ; should yield {([clojure.core/+] 1 1) 2} 

(defmacro bla
  [hm expr]
  `(assoc ~hm (list [email protected]) ~expr))

you need to quote the first expansion of expr

and (list @x) is just x

but you want ~‘x

So I try this

(defmacro bla
  [hm expr]
  `(assoc ~hm ~'expr ~expr))

oh, right, sorry, ‘~x

Ah ha! Thank you.
