Idiomatic way to write Clojure code for repeatedly reading lines from the console?

Question

Recently I was writing a little CLI script which needed to repeatedly read dates from the console (the number of dates to read was calculated and could be different each time).

Answer 1

You can do something like this:

(defn read-dates [n] 
     (doall  (for [_ (range n)] (java.util.Date/parse (read-line)))))

(def my-dates (read-dates 5)) ;Read 5 dates from console
