Comp does its work at run-time, so you have to call functions that return
functions. Threading macros do their work at compile-time, so your form
literally compiles to this:
> (clojure.walk/macroexpand-all '(->> (str/split s #"(?<=[a-z])(?=[A-Z])")
(map str/lower-case)
(interpose \-)
str/join
keyword))
(keyword
(str/join
(interpose \-
(map str/lower-case
(str/split s #"(?<=[a-z])(?=[A-Z])")))))
