   I know there are some Elips gurus around here.

   I’m confused by the following behaviour, could anybody explain to me what’s happening:

   (setq test 'test) test (eq test 'test) t (setq test2 '(alist . 'test)) (alist quote test) (cdr test2) 'test (eq (cdr test2) 'test) nil

   ^ WTF? How come this last result is not t?

   I experience the same behaviour regardless of the equality operator used (eq or equal)

     ^ Solved. You don't need to quote stuff in a alist.
     
     IE. setting
     
     ```
     (setq test2 '(alist . test))
     ```
     
     Solves the issue.

     @ekaitz_zarraga Dammit you're right!
     
     It's not the first time I'm getting bit by that! For some reason, I always forget to think in terms of AST when quoting stuff ><
     
     Backquote + coma it is here :P
     
     Thanks!
