I have a slightly more - a full application, it is a tool which I wrote to save someone around one hour per week of doing "monkey work" (nothing against monkeys, I just do not like when people waste their time on what computer can do for them, so I "wasted" some of mine on learning clojure better while doing something useful). The input is an excel spreadsheet, this spread-sheet is read (using libraries developed at apache project), checked whether it is "valid" (i.e. user opened the right kind), parsed (nothing too complicated), filtered (what the user needed was a subset according to few rules), and written to a new file in which the data split in 3 pages - all (for checking), not-interesting (what user does not want) and interesting (the stuff the user needs to make informed jugement). The result is, that instead of manually checking 100s spread-sheet "records" (the input spread-sheet was output from a database, btw), one only needs to check few. The app also reports reasonable errors and possibly exceptions (which can be cut-and-pasted - they do not pop up as dialog boxes), so this could be fed back to the programmer (me) to get a clue where the problem is. The program is not too long, reasonably structured (I wrote it twice, the first version with focus to make it work and learn, the second to like the code and the result), I could add more comments (to the code) as it was not too long ago that I wrote it. Also, I am pretty sure, someone with higher mastery of clojure-fu could improve it (my main motivation here is for other people not to pick up possibly bad beginners (mine) habits if there are some in there).
