I'm not sure I get the global variables bit? I know in Clojure you can rebind a var in a certain context with the 'binding' form... is that what they mean?

- silentbicycle 16y agoYes. They're often called "special variables" or "dynamic variables" in a Lisp context - their value is checked within the current scope, not the (lexical) context in which they were defined.
