The version without it (def primes (cons 2 (filter (fn isprime? [n] (every? #(pos? (mod n %)) primes)) (iterate inc 3)))) works for me as well. Is it safe to use this version or is using 'take-while' for some reason necessary ? maclo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
