;; `slurp` is polymorphic and supports many types. Sometimes you ;; need to `slurp` a generic argument that could be already a string ;; (perhaps it was loaded somewhere else). Use `char-array` to convert ;; the string into a format suitable for `slurp`: (defn fetch [x] (slurp (if (string? x) (char-array x) x))) (take 10 (fetch "http://clojure.org")) ;;(\h \t \t \p \: \/ \/ \c \l \o) (take 10 (fetch "Also loading from a string")) ;; (\A \l \s \o \space \l \o \a \d \i)
