Sounds like a candidate for the daily WTF...

You guessed mostly right, Daniel :) This guy hashed some fields of his
client's database, replacing the original content with its hashed
version. I don't know everything, but he at least obfuscated the
addresses. He (and the client who asked to "encrypt with MD5") thought
he was actually encryptin
Daniel,
I guess I have to ask... why do you need to do this in the first
place? :) Zip codes are already unique. Are you searching through data
where someone else MD5'd some zip codes to obfuscate them? Just curious.

Stuart, I took a second look at your suggestion. I integrated it
directly in my code, which became much more elegant as a direct
consequence. :) And it's a tiny, tiny little bit faster too. :)
(defn all-zips []
"Returns a lazy list of all possible American zipcodes."
(let [zips5 (zip-format
Thanks for your replies.
Sean: Type-hinting the String didn't help. And for some reason, defn'd
function is 1.5x slower than my anonymous one.
Daniel: Thanks for the info. Once my algorithms are fine (if they can
get finer), I'll definitely narrow down the zips5 seed, and use your
suggested MD5 d

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you want, but maybe this will

Try adding type hints. Assuming all-zips returns a list of strings:
(defn all-zips-MD5 []
"Returns a lazy list of all possible American zipcodes, as MD5
digests."
(let [digester (java.security.MessageDigest/getInstance "MD5")]
(map
(fn [#^java.util.String to-digest]
(.update
I need to generate a list of all possible American zipcodes, MD5-
digested. Later on, I will need to do much more involving stuff,
processor-wize, with this. But already, generating a naive list of all
possible zipcodes is taking quite a deal of time:
user> (time (dorun (take 100 (all-zips)))
