You've catted together an infinite seq of empty seqs, and forcing a lazy seq 
doesn't stop until either an element or known emptiness is found, whereas you 
provide neither. Consider: should the following terminate?

(doall (filter #(< % 42) (range)))

You need a sentinel so you can use take-while, or another code path in f2 that 
provides the aforementioned termination condition.

lazy-cat infinite realization on empty seq

[michaelr524]

Hi,

This has probably been asked a million times but I couldn't find
anything.

Why the following triggers infinite realization of the infinite lazy
seq and how I can work around it and make it stop when f1 returns an
empty seq,

(defn f1 [] (println "hello") [])
(defn f2 [] (lazy-cat (f1) (f2)))

(doseq [a (f2)]
 (pprint a))

Thanks,
Michael
