Calling (eduction ..) returns in a REPL something that looks like a sequence (i.e., things like "(1 2 3)"). But if you check whether this return value is a sequence (via seq?), you get false.
Question: What exactly is an Eduction? Is it merely a list of values that will be fed, one by one, into a reduction function?
According to transducer's doc:
To capture the process of applying a transducer to a coll, use the eduction function. It takes any number of xforms and a final coll and returns a reducible/iterable application of the transducer to the items in coll. These applications will be performed each time reduce/iterator is called.
So it is an abstraction for applying transducers to a collection which produces something reducible/iterable. You might wonder what's the difference:
As they will go over the supplied collection apply transducers each time they are reduced/iterated over, they differ from seq's semantics.
