My one cent:
(defn count-vowels
([^String text]
(count-vowels text "aeiouAEIOU"))
([^String text ^String accepted-vowels]
(let [vowel? (set accepted-vowels)]
(->> text
(filter vowel?)
count))))
user=> (count-vowels "Plínio Balduino")
6
user=> (count-vowels "Plínio Balduino" "aeiouAEIOUíÍ")
7
I think this solves the problems for US-ASCII vowels and specific locale
vowels.
