Hi, this highly depends on the sequence function at hand. Usually they are guaranteed to be as lazy as possible. But the are two aspects: a) sometimes you need to look ahead to actually perform the action (eg. take-while or drop-while) and b) sometimes there might be a bug in the implementation and it is not as lazy as it could be. You can't do anything about a). And b) is very unlikely but also happened in the past.
A bigger problem might be ChunkedSequences. Assume you have your promises in a vector. Then a (map deref ...) will deref ahead of the actually requested elements and you have to deliver on up to 32 promises to unblock the realisation of the map sequence. So the flatten is probably more about the datastructures introducing such a ChunkedSeq than about the flatten itself.
