Ok, I got it:
user=> (defn triangle-numbers
[]
(let [rest-fn
(fn rest-fn [current cumulated]
(let [next (+ current cumulated)]
(lazy-cons next (rest-fn (inc current) next))))]
(rest-fn 1 0)))
#'user/triangle-numbers
user=> (nth (triangle-numbers) 1000000)
500001500001
user=> (nth (triangle-numbers) 10000000)
50000015000001
Thanks!
