> its useful to be able to break down complex queries into parts, step through with a debugger to follow the logic, don't see how the functional style of Lisp aids in doing any of that
In Clojure normally rather than a step debugger one would use an editor with REPL integration to aid in exploring and developing program behavior. E.g. you may capture inputs to the function, and then quickly and iteratively decompose the function and evaluate the building blocks. This type of workflow is often called REPL-driven development.
