Functional Design in Clojure

Each week, we discuss a different topic about Clojure and functional programming.

If you have a question or topic you'd like us to discuss, tweet @clojuredesign, send an email to [email protected], or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.

This week, the topic is: "first, second, key, and val." We talk about positive nothing and the proliferation of tuples.

Selected quotes:

• "Let our ramblings help your code ramblings."
• "First is the key."
• "Nil, the positive statement of nothing."
• "Key and val are a hint that the bit of data you're working on is really a small part of a map."
