Hi!
If you'd like to use relational structures, take a look at
clojure.set. There's a couple of functions which let you do relational
algebra (project, select, rename, plus some other things like index).
Clojure represents relations as sets of maps:
(def data #{{:id 0 :name "Fred" :age 30}
{:id 1 :name "Wilma" :age 26}
{:id 2 :name "Bam-bam" :age 2}
{:id 3 :name "Dino" :age 3}})
(def age-index (clojure.set/index data [:age]))
(defn name-by-age [a]
(map :name (age-index {:age a})))
Kind regards,
Achim
