Also notice that local scope overrides the global scope (unlike other languages). So something like this is perfectly legal:
(defn foo [x] (let [seq (next x)] seq)) Now, if you need to use the function known as "seq" later on in your function, you may run into issues. But I often use clojure.core names as variables if it makes a given function cleaner.
