Ran into an interesting problem today. In short, this works: (count (repeat 1e8 "stuff"))
But this doesn't: (map count [(repeat 1e8 "stuff")]) To be fair, given sufficient memory, it would eventually complete. (If the second example does work for you, change it to 1e10 or something higher). The first one works because nothing is holding on to the head of the seq. My assumption is that the second is eating memory because map still has a reference to the item being processed, while the call to count is causing it to be evaluated. Thus the whole seq is retained and we run out of memory. Is my guess correct? If so, is there a workaround for this?
