It's worth considering how *nested* accessors would work in the context of immutability.
The nested maps approach works really nicely, due in part to functions like assoc-in: ; From Mark Volkmann's tutorial (assoc-in person [:employer :address :city] "Clayton") What would the above update look like if 'address' was accessed using functions like get-address and set-address? Functions like assoc-in clearly rely on a uniform way of getting/ setting fields (i.e. maps). My *hunch* is that the right avenue is to extend/implement clojure's map classes if injecting behaviour is ever necessary. (A standard/ supported way to do this would be nice.) I'd be happy using constructor functions like (make-complex-number) and (make-person) which can hide detail of their implementations, but I'd also like to benefit from all that goes with the idiomatic use of maps.
