I wrote a similar version in F# which does have the advantage of handling infinite input or a very long partition in the sense that I can still consume the first element immediately and can skip to the second, third group ... In a sense, the result is a lazy list of lazy list and if the consumer doesn't hold on to any of them, the memory usage is constant. It is slower than a non-lazy version in F# when the input is not too long in size. I don't know about the characteristic of the current partition-by in core, as this version would be a nice addition for its capability of handling long input effectively. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
