You will never get the clarity you're looking for with a direct port; you
must find and use appropriate Clojurian abstractions. I suggest starting by
thinking about ways to eliminate loops with the numerous lazy sequence
functions, which are less numerous and harder to use in Python.

Most loop/recurs become far simpler once they are not there anymore.

Transients aid in performance; they cannot help you achieve greater
simplicity, because they are strictly less powerful than their persistent
counterparts.

I suggest trying to find the simplest implementation, and worrying about
efficiency once you have that.
