Here's one definition of comp in terms of reduce:

(defn comp [& fs]
  (reduce (fn [result f]
            (fn [& args]
              (result (apply f args))))
          identity
          fs))

It's probably a bit clearer with one of the anonymous functions pulled
out and named:

(defn comp [& fs]
  (letfn [(chain [result f]
            (fn [& args]
              (f (apply result args))))]
    (reduce chain identity fs)))

They're less efficient than clojure.core/comp's implementation, but I
love the versatility of {reduce,fold,whatever}.

Best regards,

John
