I may be describing this incorrectly.

You're creating a top-level var named bar.

You're calling the function foo, and associating the value it returns to 
that var bar.

foo's return value happens to be a function that looks like it should be a 
counter. Except that, in clojure, it isn't.

This vaguely looks like an approach to lexical closures that I vaguely 
remember from scheme textbooks (and Paul Graham essays).

What are you really trying to do?
