You can use reduce to carry forward both the new value on the cards, and
the new value of "due".
user> (let [due 100
cards [{:balance 120} {:balance 30} {:balance 35} {:balance
40}]]
(reduce (fn [[due cards] card]
(let [applied (max 0 (- due (:balance card)))]
[(- due applied) (conj cards (assoc card
:applied-balance applied))]))
[due []]
cards))
[30 [{:applied-balance 0, :balance 120} {:applied-balance 70, :balance 30}
{:applied-balance 0, :balance 35} {:applied-balance 0, :balance 40}]]
The first item in the result is the remaining balance, the second is
"mutated" cards.
