`loop` expects a vector of binding forms (with initial values), not just a
vector of names.

(loop [coll counter]    ; means there is one `loop` binding named `coll`,
with the initial value of `counter`

To fix that problem directly:

(loop [coll    coll      ; coll starts with an initial value of its value
outside the loop
       counter counter]  ; counter starts with an initial value of its
value outside the loop
;; rest of code here ...

Then you're left with an extra `let` (which was serving a similar purpose
to `loop` initialization?), and the whole `loop` is possibly superfluous,
because a function can be the target of a `recur`.
