Where does Item1 come from?

I'm not sure. It's not in any of my source files.

I think Clojurescript is using files from a completely different directory.

If you follow all the directions up to the point of executing the first clj command - does it work correctly?

Curiously, it flashes the screen that I'm supposed to see for a fraction of a second, and then it switches to something else.

I think that clojurescript is executing an old clojurescript file from a completely different project.

That's some very bizarre hidden state.

I don't think your setup is correct. Try creating a project from the ground up. Just in case, make sure there's nothing in ~/.clojure/. Clear the browser cache.

that's curious because this project was from the ground up. I'll check the cache.

I'm going to delete the old project and try again.

Deleting the old project solved the problem.

thank you!

Are you using just () or '()?

Using it without quoting is the same as (get {...} {...}).

Also note that in Clojure (= [...] '(...)) if both ... are the same.

This helps, Thanks! Pretty new to cljs 🙂

Just to make my second statement clear - it's only like that for maps and keywords. Because they're both callable via implementing IFn and their invoke implementations work like get. (something ...) just invokes something on ... when evaluated. something can be anything, not just a symbol.

@U01AGMXNQ3X Did you mean to ask in this particular thread or in #clojurescript?

yes. i miss-placed it. I'll move it over. thanks.

What exactly do you mean? Just --? Or two consecutive hyphens anywhere in a larger string? Or just two hyphens anywhere in the string? I.e. what strings from these should not be matched? --, a--, a-b-.
