Yes - loop/recur is pretty much the fundamental iterative construct in Clojure. From the clojure.org website "recur is the only non-stack-consuming looping construct in Clojure." That doesn't mean you necessarily have to use it directly - various other iterative / looping constructs use it under the hood. Lots of macros actually expand to some sort of loop/recur construct. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
