Hi!
Here's another way you could do it:
(defn say-hello
([names] (say-hello names #{}))
([names saluted]
(reduce (fn [saluted name]
(if (saluted name)
(do (println "Hello" name "!")
(conj saluted name))
(do (println "Welcome Back" name "!")
saluted)))
saluted names)
(println "Goodbye!")))

A few things to think about are the loop and recur macro. loop is a macro
that Clojure uses since there is no support for tail recursion on the jvm.
Since we're just iterating over the seq though, we can just use reduce. A
minor stylistic detail is that hyphens are generally preferred over
underscores. The unary function providing a default value for the second
argument and calling the binary function is idiomatic. Of course, there are
many ways to do this. Good luck!
