Examples

Threaded arg exposure:

arg-> exposes the threaded arg, binding it to the supplied variable. For example:

(-> 2
   (arg-> [x]
     (* (inc x))))
;=> 6

Expands to:

(-> 2
   ((fn [arg] (let [x arg] (-> arg (* inc x))))))
;=> 6

Note the extra set of parens in the expansion; the threading macro feeds the current argument in as arg, binds it to the supplied var using let, and resumes threading for all forms inside of arg->.

Threaded list comprehension:

The following use of for->:

(-> 1
   (for-> [x [1 2 3]]
     (+ x)))
;=> 7

Expands to:

(-> 1
   (+ 1)
   (+ 2)
   (+ 3))
;=> 7
