Re: Count vowels in a string
My one cent:
(defn count-vowels
([^String text]
(count-vowels text aeiouAEIOU))
([^String text ^String accepted-vowels]
(let [vowel? (set accepted-vowels)]
(- text
(filter vowel?)
count
user= (count-vowels Plínio Balduino)
6
user= (count-vowels Plínio Balduino aeiouAEIOUíÍ)
7
I think this solves the problems for US-ASCII vowels and specific locale
vowels.

Great, glad it was helpful. Actually, you can remove the call to seq,
since filter calls it implicitly:
(defn count-vowels [s] (count (filter #{\a \e \i \o \u \A \E \I \O \U} s)))
