Each week, we discuss a different topic about Clojure and functional programming.

If you have a question or topic you'd like us to discuss, tweet @clojuredesign, send an email to feedback@clojuredesign.club, or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.

This week, the topic is: "for." We talk about this data generating macro, while we remember situations when it was useful.

Selected quotes:

• "You are generating a new sequence in a declarative way."


• "In typical Clojure fashion, I looked up the definition."


• "Forgive us for our puns."


• "Where the while is in the for. Another statement that doesn't make sense to the outside listener."
