Oh, wait, my bad... you're getting the keyword args special destructuring. i.e., you're telling Clojure to expect a map and store the appropriate keys in the proper symbols
user=> ((fn [{:keys [k]}] (str k)) {:k "Awesome" :l "Beer"}) "Awesome" user=> ((fn [{:keys [k l]}] (str k l)) {:k "Awesome" :l "Beer"}) "AwesomeBeer" Not 100% why you're having an issue, gotta think.
