Clojure dart is not able to handle this scenario where a function is defined and used in a subsequent macro.
To Reproduce
(defn gensyms [amt]
(vec (repeatedly amt gensym)))
(defmacro mk-comp-navs []
;; rest of fn altered for brevity...
(gensyms 1)
)
Syntax error compiling at (test.cljd:14:3).
Faulty form (defmacro mk-comp-navs [] (gensyms 1))
Expected behavior
This should work.
No doubt because of ClojureDart's two phase macro-expansion, it's not aware of the function defined a few lines above.
This is something that is possible in cljs, so presumably the two phases need to work more in parallel than in sequence, or effectively behave as such.

quirks https://code.thheller.com/blog/shadow-cljs/2019/10/12/clojurescript-macros.html but these require defining aliases etc.Additional context
I was trying to convert the
specter
library and came across a problem running the following code.Pointing
cljd
at moreclj
code will highlight more differences with the language. More reason to champion the following suggestion ;-) https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C03A6GE8D32/p1729680676173319I suggest this difference go under the
Completeness status
of the project given the difference with Clojure core.
