Maybe your objects could be defined by a map containing functions and objects.
So exampleAndList = {:fn and, :coll [a b c]}
And then eval goes through your objects recursively, using
(def eval [o]
(apply (:fn o) (map eval (:coll o))))
- with a special case that if o is not a map but say a Boolean you just return
itself
