    0-th Fibonacci is 0, IIRC. Furthermore, the use of loop's repeat clause is appropriate here. Thus,

    (defun fib (n)
    (loop repeat n
    for a = 0 then b
    and b = 1 then (+ a b)
    finally (return a)))

    "!" is similar to "do".

    (define (fib n)
    (! (b 1 (+ a b)
    a 0 b
    n n -)
    (= 1 n)))

    (! (n 1 +) (= n 7) ! print (fib n))
