Which makes it suitable for e.g. writing macros that emit code that requires some namespace and immediately uses it.</p> <p>That behavior is relied upon by existing libraries and is described online in various places, but it's not documented at <a rel="nofollow" href="https://clojure.org">https://clojure.org</a>.</p> <p>Perhaps it makes sense to explicitly document this particular quirk of <code>do</code> and its usage.</p> Compiler https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/14628/consider-documenting-usage-of-do-for-the-gilardi-scenario Sun, 13 Jul 2025 20:13:30 +0000
