;; Lists can also be constructed literally using quote, but note the difference ;; When using list the arguments are evaluated (let [x 1 y 2] (list x y)) ;; => (1 2) ;; ... and when using quote ' they are not: (let [x 1 y 2] '(x y)) ;; => (x y) ;; there is syntax quote ` (back tick) that allows selective evaluation inside it with ~: (let [x 1 y 2] `(~x ~y)) ;; => (1 2) ;; But syntax quote ` is mostly used in macro definitions where most elements ;; should not be evaluated and unquoted with ~ and list form above feels ;; more idiomatic for simple list construction.
