Hi all,

I feel like a bloody noob for having to ask this (I've been coding C++
for years but Clojure, Lisp and Java are all new territory for me) but
I'm missing something obvious and basic here and I'm still struggling
with the syntax a bit.

I'm trying to learn clojure by simply translating an example app from
the Apache POI project.  I'm attempting to create a dummy Excel
spreadsheet.  The code below is cut down a bit from the code I'm
trying to run; I'm just trying to demonstrate the issue that I'm
having.

This code compiles just fine but when I run it, I see all of the
println message except "In init-sheet".  So it looks like init-sheet
is never getting called.  Would someone please give me a little
guidance as to why the function is not getting invoked?  Is this
something to do with lazy evaluation?

;initialize the various worksheets

        )

;For my own reference--this is an example of a Clojure sequence
comprehension
(for [current-month [months]]
        (let [current-sheet (init-sheet current-month)])
)
