Gary, I fully acknowledge that there are many ways to create lazy sequences that are much more elegant and efficient. However, as I mentioned, I'm very fascinated by generators in Python, and I mostly wanted to toy around with how to implement it in Clojure. Also, as I mentioned, for beginners who are not well-versed in Clojure laziness, it's easy to use generators in combination with the "loop" macro (or other more imperative macros) for a lazy but still functional-ish sequence. However, I'm probably not going to use this library for any of my own projects. :-)
