--8<---cut here---
There's "while" in clojure.core; would that work?

Thanks for sharing your blog post. Is there an Anti-If alternative to
loop/recur in a situation where you have to poll for a condition to be
true? (Seems to me that this necessitates some kind of conditional
statement)

Hi Dominikus,
and thanks for sharing your valuable thought.

After seeing [1] from Rich Hickey I wondered what he means with
"replace if statements with polymorphic functions"? Why and how
exactly should I do it? Your blogpost opened my eyes. Thanks a lot
