Clojure sequences are lazy by default. That gives you big benefits like separation of concerns, but it also brings with it some gotchas. This course is mostly about exploring those gotchas--problems that can bite you if you're not ready for them--and techniques to work with each one. Being prepared is the best antidote to a bad bite. After dealing with the downsides, we explore the big benefits.
