I believe it's also completely specified, which is not the case for  
LOOP. LOOP is a little like English in that regard... very powerful,  
but time flies like an arrow, and fruit flies like a banana!

+1 for a Clojure port of Iterate; it's a fantastic library.

Good point! I only used Iterate a couple times, and now I'm reading up
more seriously on it... I think I can keep the conciseness of loop (in
typical cases) while also having the extensibility and power of
iterate.


Thanks,

Heh, I've always wanted one of these. Anyways, I think that instead of
emulating loop , you should try to somewhat emulate iterate. You would
need a code walker, though, because you probably wouldn't want to use
brackets for all the special case loop constructs. Is there one for
clojure? I don't know.
Looks great, btw. I don't know anyone that has done it, but then again
i'm not really on top of things.
