I've been working on learning Clojure after taking a course in Common
Lisp and I am having some troubles translating a particular Common
Lisp function to Clojure that uses mapping.

We're defining a function that takes a function and two lists and
applies the function to each two items in the lists. Not particularly
safe or anything, but decent for learning.

In CL:
(defun parallel (F L1 L2)
  (mapcar #'(lambda (x y) (funcall F x y)) L1 L2))

(parallel '+ '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6))  ;; => (5 7 9)  ;; Working correctly

My attempt in Clojure:
(defn parallel [F L1 L2] (map (fn [x y] (F x y)) L1 L2))
-- OR --
(defn parallel [F L1 L2] (map F L1 L2))

however...
(parallel '+ '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6))  => (4 5 6)

I gleaned what I could from the Clojure wiki but I'm still missing
something.

Any pointers on where I am going wrong?
