Be careful with the (filter identity ...) which will also remove falses
from seqs.
(filter identity [nil 2 3 nil false true 4])
= (2 3 true 4)
Since (identity false) and (identity nil) returns respectively false and
nil they are BOTH rejected by filter.
This could do the trick:
(filter (comp
(filter (comp not nit?) [nil 2 3 nil false true 4])
-
(remove nil? [...])

I avoid making explicit distinctions between false and nil in my code.
In Clojure a falsy value is either nil or false.
In interop I ensure that null and false when returned in the upper layers
are made consistent (including Boolean objects set to false).
Too much potential trouble in my
The difference between nil and false is really handy in some cases
and for many people removing nil (or keeping not-nil) values from a seq
is not removing falsy values.
I just wanted to point out the issues that may arise from a blind use of
(filter identity [...]) ;)

No problem, however this nuance has broader implications than just this code
snippet :)
If you pass false and nil values to a library and expect them to be processed
differently, you may end up with a big surprise.

So, it seems the way I was removing nils using filter was already the
best way. still nice to learn about the keep fn. thx!

I don't know if we can conclude that yet. It seems to be fastest on
one system with one

Seems like filter is a bit faster, however YMMV
