While fibs is a nice small example, it is not idiomatic Clojure. Pointing the fibs var to the head of the list keeps the whole list in memory as it realizes. Better is to expose fibs as a *function* return the sequence, so the head is not retained.
(defn fibo [] (map first (iterate (fn [[a b]] [b (+ a b)]) [0 1]))) This and several inferior examples are demonstrated in the sample code for the book [1].
