(fn [s] (apply str (filter #(Character/isUpperCase %) s)))

#(apply
str (re-seq #"[A-Z]" %)))

Had to edit (tests 2 to
(__ "nothing") := "", cant think of any way to return no action for "" or nil?

(def __ #(loop [el (seq %)
                res ""]
           (if (nil? el)
             (str res)
             (recur (next el)
                    (if (Character/isUpperCase (first el))
                      (str res (first el))
                      res)))))

(def __ (fn [s]
          (->> s
               (filter (fn [c] (Character/isUpperCase c)))
               (apply str)
               )))

(defn filter-upper
  "takes a string and returns a new string containing only the capital letters"
  [s]
  (apply str (re-seq #"[A-Z]" s)))
