Here's another way, which constructs a sequence of edges using candidates, which are then fed into reduce to build an adjacency list.
(defn candidates->edges [candidates from to] (when-let [kids (seq (candidates from to))] (concat (for [k kids] [from k]) (mapcat #(get-edges candidates % to) kids)))) (defn edges->adj [edges] (reduce (fn [adj [a b]] (update-in adj [a] conj b)) {} edges)) (edges->adj (candidates->edges candidates :a :e)) ; => {:d (:e), :c (:e), :b (:d :c), :a (:b)} This doesn't handle cycles.
