That's the beauty of this language - there are many ways to skin the cat!
Here's a version using reduce...

(defn filt-split [pred col]
 (reduce (fn [[a b] x] (if (pred x) [(conj a x) b] [a (conj b x)]))
[[] []] col))

(filt-split even? [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8])
[[2 4 6 8] [1 3 5 7]]

But when you look at separate in clojure.contrib.seq-utils its simple
and elegant;
(defn separate [f s]
 [(filter f s) (filter (complement f) s)])
