Sorry dude. I think it's really insightful to see lots of different
solutions to small point problems like this when you're learning a
language - particularly when the issue of idiom is being discussed.
I've certainly found this thread educational and I hope I'm not
annoying too many people :)

Things I'm finding particularly helpful:
* into / for
* comp vs #() vs ->
* split a map and zip it vs a single pass with a more complex function

The into / for thing was great because it's something that seems very
Clojurish that I wouldn't have thought of without input.

I'm very excited about Clojure. I think it's going to be core to my
team's work over the next couple of years. I haven't been able to do
serious functional programming for about three decades but Clojure
really provides that option. We're already using Scala for certain
performance-critical pieces of our system but it's not a language that
I can present to most of my web developers - they're used to dynamic
scripting languages, no type system, no compile/deploy/run cycle.
