Could someone clarify for me why "some?" as a name for not nil makes sense
at all in the first place? Not criticizing. I just don't understand what
existence or there being some of something has to do with nil.
Maybe I don't understand the intent of nil. I came to Clojure from Common
Lisp. nil is a weird beast in CL, but it's also a weird beast in Clojure.
Is the idea that nil is supposed to be an empty structure, and empty? and
seq are too general? But unlike nil in Common Lisp, nil in Clojure is not
an empty structure, even though (empty? nil) is true. [], (), (lazy-seq),
#{}, and {} are empty structures. Am I misunderstanding?
