Two possible ways to get the “type” of your structure map:
1)
(defstruct person :name :age)
(defn make-person [name age]
(assoc (struct person name age person) :type person))
(defmulti foo :type)
(defmethod foo person [person] (println (dissoc person :type)))
user> (foo (make-person "Carlos" 13))
{:name Carlos, :age 13}
nil
2)
Have all persons in one container which will only hold maps
that were made via (make-person ...).
