Building off of something Benoit mentioned about conj not being about order, but about adding to a collection, consider conj’s behavior when adding a map-entry to a hash-map:
(conj (hash-map :a 4 :c 1) [:b 3]) => {:c 1, :b 3, :a 4} conj is an interface for adding– not to be conflated with order.

The logical name for this command seems to be concat which led to this.. (defn concat_ [a b] (def c (concat a b)) (if (vector? a) (into [] c) c)) (concat_ [1 2] [3 4]) => [1 2 3 4] (concat_ '(1 2) '(3 4)) => (1 2 3 4) (concat_ [1] [2 3]) => [1 2 3] Lists return lists and vectors return vectors. Simple. Yes yes I know it is slow. I also know I need to expand concat_ to handle other data structures. In my little newbie world, this "feels" like the ultimate "right" solution.
