Just my two cents, but the main reason to consider map/doseq/reduce/ filter etc in favor of loop/recur is that if your algorithm matches one of the former, you'll need a little less boiler-plate code (sometimes), makes it easier to use/create lazy sequences and (most importantly) using map/doseq etc when appropriate conveys a lot of information about the structure of the algorithm and its input/output expectations to the human reader. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
