This seems unfair. (a) OCaml != Clojure; maybe the former is better for this problem. (b) Uncle Bob writes I’m trying to learn Clojure, i.e., he admits he's brand new to the language and doesn't (yet) know what he's doing. So, maybe cut the guy some slack?
I reread the Norvig vs. Jeffries posts, and you're right. That example was breathtaking, and it probably colored my judgement about this Uncle Bob example.
