Personally, I think the cl loop-macro is kind of ugly. Yes, it's a nice dsl for looping, but it is almost too powerful for my taste. Too complicated to learn, if you can accomplish the same thing with sexps.
However, you can combine doseq, destructuring and the map-stuff by Meikel Brandmeyer to loop over two lists in parallel: (doseq [[a b] (map vector [:a :b :c :d :e] [1 2 3 4 5])] (println a "," b)) (You can also try to port the loop-macro from common lisp to clojure, that would be interesting) On Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 7:45 PM, viksit <vik...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey Meikel, > > On Jun 17, 10:48 pm, Meikel Brandmeyer <m...@kotka.de> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> On Jun 18, 1:35 am, viksit <vik...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> > (loop for x in '(a b c d e) >> > for y in '(1 2 3 4 5) >> > collect (list x y) ) >> >> > ((A 1) (B 2) (C 3) (D 4) (E 5)) >> >> > Are there any good (and idiomatic) methods to achieve this using a >> > Clojure loop construct? >> >> user=> (map vector [:a :b :c :d :e] [1 2 3 4 5]) >> ([:a 1] [:b 2] [:c 3] [:d 4] [:e 5]) > > Oh yes, thanks.
