Consider the following code block:

;; ... is there a way to kill this infinite go-loop ?

No, you can not kill the loop with the go channel that is bound to x. You need to return a stop, a.k.a. poison, channel that the go block checks before recurring. Something like:

(let [stop (chan)]
 (go
  (loop []
    (when (alt! stop false :default :keep-going)
      ...
      (recur))))
 stop)
