I also use 'do's as others have suggested. Another trick is to add dummy
variables in lets just to be able to print something. For instance,
(let [a 1
b 2
dummy1 (println "stuff")
c 3]
...)
(this could be done by putting the 2 for b in a do and adding the println in
the do, but that would be more invasive - with the dummy variable, it's just
add/uncomment or delete/comment out one line).
There's also the alternative of adding debug repls, which IMO is in the
spirit of adding printlns, just better if you want interactivity.
