Yes, I am! I'm slowly getting my head back into lispyness by diving head-first into writing a macro. =) I'm working on something that will approximately do: (take-ordered [3 0 1 2] coll) -> (interleave (take-nth 4 (drop 3 coll)) (take-nth 4 coll) (take-nth 4 (drop 1 coll)) (take-nth 4 (drop 2 coll))) This is a "rearranging" lazy seq operation, and the vector provided for the "pick-list" is of variable length. So I'm trying to build up a variable-length list of take-nth and drop applications in the macro substitution. There probably is an easier way to do this just with a function. I looked at interleave in core.clj and was surprised to see it wasn't a macro. So I may be making a mountain out of a mole hill, but it's all part of the learning process, right? =) Thanks for the help guys...
