Thanks!
I cleaned it up a bunch:

d] [(:OD qray)]
[x] [(* (/ 1 (Math/sqrt 2))(+ (- (- a b) c) d))]
[y] [(* (/ 1 (Math/sqrt 2))(- (+ (- a b) c) d))]
[z] [(* (/ 1 (Math/sqrt 2))(- (- (+ a b) c) d))]]
(XYZray. x y z)))
After:
(I bet I could use destructuring to shorten the above quite a bit)

To recap this thread: I started by looking at GitHub's Atom as an IDE for
Asynchronous Learning Engine (ALE), a name I'm using for an
Open Source project. I'm interested in Clojure + Java + Python as
an example "flight path" through our "curriculum space".
Turns out Eclipse is a strong candid

Excellent feedback Mark, thank you so much!
This is exactly what I was hoping for. I will be simplifying said code
accordingly and posting it back.
A great way to learn!

Gotcha. The answer is yes, it's called PyDev

Having done some more research, I see Atom 1.0 is still very new
which likely accounts for the a paucity of replies, an no Youtubes
on the topic (that I could find).
Anyway, it's not a set in stone requirement -- in the virtual school
of my dreams [1] -- that every course should use the same IDE
My day job is teaching Python, but in a school that teaches much else
besides. We're small and I'd say prototypical given how quickly the
technology is evolving.
The description in the blog post below is science fiction from my angle,
but I'm aiming for a lot of realism:

Thanks to excellent feedback, I now realize my code was overly verbose, a
common phenomenon among beginners in many a computer language.
As an example, the newer version replaces this:

Excellent feedback so far, I thank experienced Clojure programmers for
giving me tips.
I may post a next version after incorporating some of this advice.
Yes, I have much to learn!
