Hi James, I'm new to clojure and maybe for this reason it's possible to put some 'stupid' questions, I came for Java so for me it's normal when I call a fc/method to execute the body of that fc/method and return a result; this is the reason for why I expect a result when I call (test-fc (range 210432423543654675765876879)), I'm totally agree with you that this will take a long time to complete. I try to understand exactly how work internally lazy seq and for that I start to wrote this function to know how recursive call of function from inside of his body is replaced with plain recursion and in this way is avoided Stackoverflow ex..
It's something wrong on my logic ?
