I would write like this (defn sum-by-type [coll] (->> coll (map (fn [ {v "Value" t "Type" } ] {t (read-string v) })) (apply (partial merge-with +))))
If the map is keyword int map, it will be simpler than above (defn sum-by-type [coll] (->> coll (map (fn [ {v :value t :type } ] {t v})) (apply (partial merge-with +)))) Jestan.
