It appears I'm not understanding how something works in the REPL (or maybe deeper). For instance:
(def big (range 10000000)) ; memory is small now (count big) => 10000000 ; memory is huge now (System/gc) ; memory is still huge now (def big nil) (System/gc) ; memory is small again So somehow when count "realizes" big, I'm guessing it gets memoized and stuck in some sort of cache attached to the var big. If I: (do (System/gc) (count (range 10000000)) (System/gc)) ; memory is small before and after I think the version I wrote originally is fine; I just wasn't testing it properly.
