lazy-seq
A lazy sequence implementation inspired by Clojure's. It is an alternative to SRFI 41. See this article for the motivation of creating this egg and a comparison with SRFI 41.

API
- make-lazy-seq bodyprocedure
Returns a lazy-seq object. body is a thunk which will be called when the sequence is realized. It is expected to return one of the following things:
- (lazy-seq body ...)syntax
Convenience syntax for make-lazy-seq with body ... being the thunk's body.
- lazy-seq? seqprocedure
Predicate for checking whether seq is a lazy-seq.
- lazy-seq-realized? seqprocedure
Predicate for checking whether seq has already been realized.
- lazy-null? seqprocedure
Predicate for checking whether seq is null. Realizes seq.
- lazy-list #!rest elementsprocedure
Returns a realized lazy-seq of elements.
- lazy-seq->list seqprocedure
Completely realizes seq and returns a list of its elements. Should not be called on infinite sequences.
- list->lazy-seq listprocedure
Turns list into a realized lazy-seq.
- lazy-head seqprocedure
Realizes seq and returns its head.
- lazy-tail seqprocedure
Realizes seq and returns its tail.
- lazy-length seqprocedure
Completely realizes seq and returns its length. Should not be called on infinite sequences.
- lazy-append seqs ...procedure
Returns a lazy-seq representing the concatenation of seqs.
- lazy-concatenate seqprocedure
Returns a lazy-seq representing the concatenation of the lazy-seqs contained in seq.
- lazy-append-map proc seqs ...procedure
Returns a lazy-seq which is the concatenation of lazy-seqs resulting from applying proc to each element in seqs.
- lazy-reverse seqprocedure
Returns a lazy-seq of the reversed seq. Note that even realizing just the head of the returned lazy-seq will realize seq completely. Infinite sequences can't be reversed.
- lazy-take n seqprocedure
Returns a lazy-seq of the first n elements of seq.
- lazy-drop n seqprocedure
Returns a lazy-seq of all but the first n elements of seq.
- lazy-take-while pred? seqprocedure
Returns a lazy-seq of all leading elements of seq satisfying pred?.
- lazy-drop-while pred? seqprocedure
Returns a lazy-seq of seq without all leading elements satisfying pred?.
- lazy-ref n seqprocedure
Realizes seq up to the nth element and returns that element.
- lazy-map proc seqs ...procedure
Returns a lazy-seq of applying proc to each element in seqs. Terminates with the sortest of seqs.
- lazy-filter pred? seqprocedure
Returns a lazy-seq of elements from seq satisfying pred?.
- lazy-each proc seqs ...procedure
Completely realizes seqs and applies proc to each item for its side-effect. Terminates with the sortest of seqs.
- lazy-fold kons init seqprocedure
Completely realizes seq, iterating over each value and accumulating a result, similar to fold from srfi-1.
- lazy-flatten seqprocedure
Returns a lazy-seq of elements from seq, expanding any contained lazy-seq elements. The result is a single flat lazy-seq.
- lazy-iterate proc xprocedure
Returns a lazy-seq with a head of x and a tail of applying proc to the preceding element.
- lazy-repeat xprocedure
Returns an infinite lazy-seq of x.
- lazy-repeatedly thunkprocedure
Returns an infinite lazy-seq of the return value of thunk at the time an element is realized.
- lazy-cycle seqprocedure
Returns a lazy-seq which infinitely cycles through seq.
- lazy-numbers #!key (step 1) (start 0) countprocedure
Returns a lazy-seq of numbers starting at start and increasing by step. When count is a positive number the sequence terminates after count elements. Otherwise it is infinte.
- input-port->lazy-seq port readprocedure
Returns a lazy-seq of the results of applying read to port (which must be an input port). The sequence terminates when read returns #!eof. The port is not closed automatically by this procedure.
- lazy-seq->string seqprocedure
Completely realizes a seq of characters and returns a string consisting of those characters. Should not be called on infinite sequences.
- string->lazy-seq stringprocedure
Turns string into a realized lazy-seq of characters.
Examples
Defining a custom lazy-seq
(define odd-numbers
(let next ((n 1))
(lazy-seq
(cons n (next (+ n 2))))))
(lazy-ref 5 odd-numbers) ; => 11Note that odd-numbers can be defined more conveniently like this:
(define odd-numbers (lazy-filter odd? (lazy-numbers)))
