First of I'd like to say that I find Clojure to be an excellent
language, however I find the lack of infix operators makes reading
equations somewhat unnatural, eg:

(+ (- (* x x) (* y y)) a)

I ended up writing a simple function to handle infix notation

(defn infix [arg1 func arg2 & args]
    (let [result (func arg1 arg2)]
        (if (= args nil) result (recur result (first args) (second
args) (rrest args)))))

using that I find makes the code more readable:

(infix (infix x * x) - (infix y * y) + a)

I was wondering if there is a more elegant way to do this, and if it
could be added as a standard or contrib function.
