clojure: for loop contents not invoked

Question

I\'m trying to build an XML structure using the internal data types from BaseX from Clojure.

(defn basex-elem [token-name dict]
  (let [elem (org.basex.query.ite         


        

Answer 1

for is not a loop construct in clojure, rather it's a list comprehension and produces a lazy sequence.

Use doseq instead when side effects are intended.
