Hey Steven, here's a variation of my first example that, I think, gets closer to what you're proposing (with maybe-add handled in-line):
(defn to-consolidated-map [parts] (reduce (fn [h [k v]] (assoc h k (+ (get h k 0) v))) {} parts)) Using assoc instead of update-in allows it to handle nils with a default value to get. All core lib fns. WDYT? Also, this: (defn to-consolidated-map [parts] (apply merge-with + (map (partial apply hash-map) parts))) or this variant: (defn to-consolidated-map [parts] (->> parts (map (partial apply hash-map)) (apply merge-with +)) each use only core lib fns, which you say you're looking for. I find this less accidental-complexity-ish than the implementations that use reduce with a custom (anonymous) fn, which each require handling nil in some fashion. WDYT?
