Why isn't the following satisfactory for your needs? get-value takes a value
returns a new value based on it. do-something can 'do something' to/with
this new value.
(defn get-value [start-value]
(loop [updateable start-value line (.readline reader)]
(if (or (empty? line) (> line-num max-num))
(+ updateable (somefunc))
(recur (.readLine reader)))))
(defn do-something []
(let [updated-value (get-value 0)]
(println updated-value))
