(partial apply str) and apply-str in clojure's ->
- by Jason Baker
If I do the following:
user=> (-> ["1" "2"] (partial apply str))
#<core$partial__5034$fn__5040 clojure.core$partial__5034$fn__5040@d4dd758>
...I get a partial function back. However, if I bind it to a variable:
user=> (def apply-str (partial apply str))
#'user/apply-str
user=> (-> ["1" "2" "3"] apply-str)
"123"
...the code works as I intended it. I would assume that they are the same thing, but apparently that isn't the case. Can someone explain why this is to me?
