Hello,

I've got a clojure and a python piece of code. Both seem to create what can 
be considered an instance of a class. Wherein lies the conceptual 
difference?

Python:
class MYCLASS():
    def __init__(self, x):
          self.x = x
    def MYMETHOD(self):
         ...

def MYFUNCTION():
    lol = MYCLASS()

Clojure:
(defn MYCLASS [x]
     {:x [x]
      :MYMETHOD (fn [] (MYCLASS ...))})

(let [lol (MYCLASS ...)])

I know its not valid code, but I hope you see what I'm aiming at: isn't 
using a map with functions in it just the same as a class?
Or is only the user interface of the language conceptually equal, while the 
underlying plumbing is completely different?
If this is the case, wherein lies the major differences?

If one could simply point me in the right direction, I'd already be very 
pleased. Most literature I've read so far only explains clojure can be used 
this way, but never focuses deeper on the subject.

kind regards,
Dieter
