I *frequently* see: (nth (iterate foo bar) n)
And: (->> (iterate foo bar) (drop n) first) I've also coded this in `avi` after being surprised no such thing exists: (defn n-times [thing n a-fn] (reduce (fn [thing n] (a-fn thing)) thing (range n))) (which is kind of a bad implementation, now that I think of it): Would it be useful to file a ticket for a new arity for iterate?: (defn iterate ... ([f x n] (if (zero? n) x (recur f (f x) (dec n)))) There's a little bit of weirdness - this returns a single value, while the other arity returns a lazy sequence. However, I think it's the correct name (and the original arity might have better been named "iterations" for symmetry with "reduce" and "reductions"). But ah well.
