What's the convention for using an asterisk at the end of a function name in Clojure and other Lisp dialects?

Question

Note that I\'m not talking about ear muffs in symbol names, an issue that is discussed at Conventions, Style, and Usage for Clojure Constants? and How is the `*var-name*` naming

Answer 1

a normal let binding (let ((...))) create separate variables in parallel

a let star binding (let* ((...))) creates variables sequentially so that can be computed from eachother like so

(let* ((x 10) (y (+ x 5)))

I could be slightly off base but see LET versus LET* in Common Lisp for more detail

EDIT: I'm not sure about how this reflects in Clojure, I've only started reading Programming Clojure so I don't know yet
