Using the Sequence Library
The Clojure sequence library provides a rich set of functionality that can work with any sequence. If you come from an object-oriented background where nouns rule, the sequence library is truly “Revenge of the Verbs.” The functions provide a rich backbone of functionality that can take advantage of any data structure that obeys the basic first/rest/cons contract.
