How to repeat string n times in idiomatic clojure way?

Question

In Ruby, \"str\" * 3 will give you \"strstrstr\". In Clojure, the closest I can think of is (map (fn [n] \"str\") (range 3)) Is there a more idioma

Answer 1

And one more fun alternative using protocols:

(defprotocol Multiply (* [this n]))

Next the String class is extended:

(extend String Multiply {:* (fn [this n] (apply str (repeat n this)))})

So you can now 'conveniently' use:

(* "foo" 3)
