Oh I see. Thanks for the explanation. I always assumed that chunked
sequences can be viewed as purely an optimization and transparent from
the user. Is there a way (short of writing a lazy version of apply
concat) that I can achieve my desired result?

I've heard talk about trying to provide some option for zero-lookahead lazy sequences. I don't think any API has been stabilized, though.

One workaround I've used is to use delay to avoid the execution of individual elements, but that doesn't really work in this case: you need to force them in order to apply concat.

Maybe something like:

(defn force-concat [& xs]
  (when xs
    (lazy-seq
      (concat (force (first xs))
              (force-concat (rest xs))))))

(def temp (for [i (range 50)]
           (delay
             (do (println i)
               [i i i]))))

(def temp2 (apply force-concat temp))

(println (take 10 temp2))


It behaves oddly on my machine, but I think the principle is sound...
