Getting Clojure

Wrapping Up

In this chapter we looked at sequences, the Clojure abstraction that erases the differences between the various Clojure collection types and allows us treat them all like one darned thing after another. We also thought a bit about how sequences are implemented and we looked at the rich toolkit of functions that lets you do useful things with your sequences. Finally, we looked at some situations when it’s best not to forget that a vector is a vector and a map is a map.

In the next chapter we’ll explore lazy sequences, which combine the ideas of functional programming with the sequence abstraction to come up with something powerful and extraordinary.
