To add to the ideas above -- When you want to avoid misspelling the keys of record-like maps, you can define and use constant vars for the keys (so the compiler will verify references).
The 'persistency' of data structures in Clojure really puts the shoe on the other foot. Consumers of a map can't ruin it. If they want guard-rails to save them from making blunders, they are free to access the map via guard functions attuned to those blunders. It's not the map's concern. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
