Answering my own question, using the function itself as the recur
target does exactly what I want:
;; Process the list one chunk at a time
(defn do-something [biglist]
(when biglist
(doall (take 1000 biglist))
(recur (drop 1000 biglist))))
I guess I should have tried it instead of assuming it wouldn't work.
Please excuse my talking to myself :o)
Cheers,
Mark
