My one cent: (defn count-vowels ([^String text] (count-vowels text "aeiouAEIOU")) ([^String text ^String accepted-vowels] (let [vowel? (set accepted-vowels)] (->> text (filter vowel?) count))))
user=> (count-vowels "Plínio Balduino") 6 user=> (count-vowels "Plínio Balduino" "aeiouAEIOUíÍ") 7 I think this solves the problems for US-ASCII vowels and specific locale vowels.
