What, precisely, happens if two threads sharing a reference to a single
lazy sequence try to realize the same element at the same time? If the
sequence is completely pure and deterministic, so any attempt to realize a
particular element will produce a single particular value consistently
(unlike, say, (repeatedly rand) or a file-seq where relevant parts of the
filesystem are being concurrently modified), is the worst-case scenario
that the two threads will redundantly perform the same calculation, with no
effect other than a minor hit to performance and, in particular, no effect
on the program semantics?
