In Clojure and clojurescript you can have a private version of defn called defn-, but how do you do the same for def, as def- doesn't seem to be included?

Here's how to implement def-:

(defmacro def-
  "same as def, yielding non-public def"
  [name & decls]
  (list* `def (with-meta name (assoc (meta name) :private true)) decls))

This code is very similar to that of defn-, which you can look up using (clojure.repl/source defn-):

(defmacro defn-
  "same as defn, yielding non-public def"
  {:added "1.0"}
  [name & decls]
  (list* `defn (with-meta name (assoc (meta name) :private true)) decls))
