I think the main issue with lazy sequences is understanding and controlling their scope. Transducers, particularly when utilized within an `into` scope, can encapsulate laziness very neatly. Indeed, transducers utilize lazy sequences internally, and the OP shows their clear performance advantage. I think the article would be more effective if it shifted tone to "Clojure laziness best practices" rather than damning the idea wholesale. There be dragons for sure.
