I wrote a much better example in order to show what am I trying to do. Of
course, the following is a simplified version of the actual code in order
to make things easier for everybody.
(def my-data [{:area "Somewhere" :warehouses
>
> [{:warehouse "W54321" :containers
>
> [{:container "C12345" :boxes
>
> [{:box "B12345" :items
>
> [{:item "I12345"}]}]}]}]}
>
> {:area "SomewhereElse" :warehouses
>
> [{:warehouse "W54321" :containers
>
> [{:container "C54321" :boxes
>
> [{:box "B54321" :items
>
> [{:item "I54321"}]}]}]}]}])

My question is, how can I get rid of the nested loops and replace it with
something more elegant in clojure.
Thank you for any replies.
