Here is a somewhat simplified example:
Lets say you decide to model positions as {:x 12 :y 10} {:x 23 :y 34}
...And then you want to describe what is present at each of these positions
Then this can simply be done using a map
{ {:x 12 :y 10} "A house",
{:x 23 :y 34} "Other house"}
This may not sound useful but once you wrap you head around it, situations
where this simplifies things pop up often enough.
