'when pred' just checks that you're not passing in garbage for the
predicate -- it's probably not really necessary and it might be better
to let Clojure throw an exception.
Totally agree on your point with the branching. That's not really FP-
related, it's only that most FP languages allow pattern
+1 on this. Although of course you could just use the shell for this
(e.g. grep or awk). But it's certainly nicer to have that integrated
in the compiler (possibly also in the compiled code?)
