Does clj-kondo have some way to tell a binding vector from other vectors? Or is it based on a list of known macros?

Asking for a friend. 😃

@pez What's the background of this question?

The background: https://github.com/BetterThanTomorrow/calva/issues/529

How does this relate to linting?

Not at all. I just notice that clj-kondo seems to know when I am not using bindings, and that paredit feature would neeed similar knowledge, so wondered about the mechanincs of this magic.

Ah. Well, clj-kondo has special rules for analyzing several built-in vars/forms, it can't magically know otherwise

There is no metadata or anything to go by

so if you encounter a name like clojure.core/let you know the first one is a binding vector

Cool. I thought as much, but good to know for sure.

Most of this code is in clj-kondo.impl.analyzer.clj

Thanks!
