Hello,

Consider the following problem:

(def v [1 2 3])
(def l '(4 5 6))

; we need to apply in sequence 
; `v <- (func v e)`, 
; where `e` goes over elements of the list `l`
(def new-v (apply-from-list func v l))

For example, if `(def func conj)`, then the value of `new-v` is `[1 2 3 4 5 
6]`. Is there some function (or a simple combination of functions) from the 
standard library that does that? It seems to me that it could be done with 
something like `->`, but a function, not a macro. At the moment I have the 
following ugly implementation:

(defn apply-from-list
  [init-res func init-l]
  (if (empty? init-l)
    init-res
    (loop [res init-res
           l init-l]
      (let [first-elem (first l)
            rest-elems (rest l)
            res (func res first-elem)]
        (if (empty? rest-elems)
          res
          (recur res rest-elems))))))
