Well, a more important matter, this example in the documentation of
atom is wrong!
The recursive calls will not be memoized if called like that. Running
this code clearly shows:
(defn memoize [f]
(let [mem (atom {})]
(fn [& args]
(if-let [e (find @mem args)]
(val e)
(le
In this case 'memoize' returns a memoized version of the function 'f', which
closes over 'mem'. Each time 'memoize' is called a new atom is created, not
each time the function it returns is called.

I am a newbie to Clojure, so have some confusion around lexical
scoping especially when "let" is used in a recursive function call. To
be more precise, I am taking the example memoize() function used for
explaining the concept of atom at clojure.org.
Here is how it is explained:
(defn memoize [f]
