<p>The syntax is <code>#object[CLASS-NAME HASH toString())]</code> and as you can see, the toString of an Object is <code>CLASS-NAME@HASH</code>. For most objects this becomes quite a long string.</p>

<p>It’s quite easy to miss the fact that it is a function as we are looking for a tiny little <code>fn</code> in a sea of text. If, like me, you are fond of the <ahref="../../code_interview/beating/with_stupid_stuff/z_combinator_gambit.html">odd lambda calculus excursion</a>, things get even more hectic.</p>
<p>Yikes! what an eyesore. This is not an academic issue specific to lambda calculus. Any function created from inside a function is helpfully identifiable through the <code>fn$fn</code> nesting. We create these quite regularly, and they are often printed in stack traces. I’m sure you have seen them when you map an inline function across a seq, and there is a bug in the anonymous function.</p>
The Clojure default for printing objects is noisy. Clojure’s <code>print-method</code> for <code>Object</code> delegates to <code>clojure.core/print-object</code>
