1. The Clojure wrapper put the last two calls inside the if, unlike
Matcher#replaceFirst(), thus the nil.
public String replaceFirst(String replacement) {
if (replacement == null)
throw new NullPointerException("replacement");
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
reset();
if (find())
appendReplacement(sb, replacement);
appendTail(sb);
return sb.toString();
}
(defn- replace-first-by
[^CharSequence s ^Pattern re f]
(let [m (re-matcher re s)]
(let [buffer (StringBuffer. (.length s))]
(if (.find m)
(let [rep (f (re-groups m))]
(.appendReplacement m buffer rep)
(.appendTail m buffer)
(str buffer))))))
