My $.02
(defn slice
[indices coll]
(let [idx (filter #(< % (count coll) (set indices))]
(map (partial nth coll) idx)))
I changed the order of your arguments to accommodate map operations
(which you're gonna need to parse a log file). Alternatively, you
could have slice generate a closure
(defn slice-c
[& indices]
(fn[coll]
(let [idx (filter #(< % (count coll) (set indices))]
(map (partial nth coll) idx))))
