Disclaimer, I'm only looking at how I would want to write it. You may need to do something else if you have specific performance requirements.
clojure.set is probably your friend. user=> (def xrel #{{:id 1, :foo "bar"} {:id 2, :foo "car"} {:id 3, :foo "dog"}}) #'user/xrel user=> (use 'clojure.set) nil user=> (select (fn [{:keys [id]}] (not= id 1)) xrel) #{{:id 2, :foo "car"} {:id 3, :foo "dog"}} or, if this is something you do often enough user=> (def xrel #{{:id 1, :foo "bar"} {:id 2, :foo "car"} {:id 3, :foo "dog"}}) #'user/xrel user=> (use 'clojure.set) nil user=> (require 'clojure.data) nil user=> (defn submap [sub super] (-> (clojure.data/diff sub super) last (= sub))) #'user/submap user=> (select (partial (complement submap) {:id 1}) xrel) #{{:foo "car", :id 2} {:foo "dog", :id 3}} On Fri, Mar 23, 2012 at 2:50 AM, Philip Potter <philip.g.pot...@gmail.com> wrote: > Might it be possible to use a map instead?
