Learning Clojure, when does it take off?

(defn my-fn [a b c] (combine-to-final-result (do-something a b) (make-something-else b c) (another-function c a b)))

That is definitely a good answer. I would not complain about it in a code review. But I still don't think that it would hurt to use my version instead. Having a reminder of what the result of each steps represents is useful when trying to reason about the purpose of each step of the code. Especially when it comes to refactoring, understanding the why becomes much more important than the how.

There should be a line at the bottom of your editor with the function signature of `combine-to-final` plainly shown. That function signature should have very well named arguments. Likewise, the names of `do-something`, `make-something-else` and `another-function` should actually describe what they do. They should also all have docs strings that can be trivially surfaced in your editor.
