How to exit a when a function mapped over a collection first returns true?

Question

I want to map a function that returns a boolean over a collection and exit with true on the first true match... how would I do that?

(map #(true? %) [false false true false])

returns

=> (false false true false)

How would I simply get true?

Answer 1

(some pred coll) returns the first truthy (pred x) for x in coll, or nil if no such truthy value is found. Note that in Clojure, all values are truthy except nil and false. For your example:

(some identity [false false true false])
=> true
