I don't believe so. There's nothing special about them as far as Clojure is concerned. They're just regular symbols in a vector.

Right. I could add special handling for symbols starting with ?, but I’m not sure what the scope should be - current file? Top-level form? I’m also not sure if variables with that naming convention are used in other ways.

Those are my questions as well

afaik ?anything is a valid Clojure symbol, so i'd say the scope would be the same as any other Clojure symbol

i think core.logic uses this convention as well

you could stop quoting your Datalog queries if you had a def for each ?thing 🙂

I don't think that would be a good idea

Yes, ?anything is a valid symbol. But symbols on their own don’t have a scope, the scope is implied by the thing (fn, macro, datalog query, core.logic) using them. I have a similar problem with hiccup support - since everything is data, there’s nothing to say what is a datalog query in the code unless you pass an explicit data structure to a function which is well-known to accept one.

@U01NYKKE69G of course, it's a terrible idea 🙂 my point was, it would work because ?these ?are ?just ?symbols

What's your repl launch configuration?

Pretty much the standard one

What is it literally

This sort of thing can be caused by lein plugins - are you using any?

@U0567Q30W Just two actually: lein-cloverage and lein-eftest

I wonder if Cloverage might be causing that. Is the project.clj anywhere I can look at, or is it private?

Sure thing. Here it is https://github.com/aratare-jp/epsilon-clj/blob/master/project.clj

Ah I missed another one: lein-virgil

Thanks, I’ll try to import that and start a REPL to reproduce, I won’t get to it today though.

Sure thing. Thanks a lot 🙂

If you want I can make an issue with a bit more info?

That would be great, thanks.
