So I was trying to do something like this:

(defn bad-function [body]

(let [result “hello”]

body))

And then I tried to do something like this:

(bad-function (println result))

And it failed. I didn’t understand why it would failed since I do something very similar in our…

Thanks. I was suspecting something like that. Now I know.

Ah, and I found a work around without having to use macros. After reading how scope works in clojure and playing with the REPL, I figured out that you can do something similar by passing a function:

(defn will-work [function]

   (let [arg “hello”]  

        (function arg)

))

(will-work (fn [x] (println x)))

That way one can inject the local var binding into an independent function, and the function will be applied at the right time.
