Hi All, This post is just to mention my recent experience with one of the clojure.core/zipmap, by witch I was burned badly recently. Consider the following example code
(def ks [:a :b :c :d :e :f :b :c :d]) (def m (zipmap ks (range))) (get m :b) > 6 Of course the "ks" in my case was like 100-and-something names, which I didn't notice got concatenated twice by accident. Alright I accept, it was a ridiculously stupid mistake, but finding out what went wrong was definitely not straightforward (kind of questioning your sanity feeling)... I had to grab a friend for some "second pair of eyes" and her immediate reaction was "(= (count (distinct ks)) (count ks))", and said there you go. Not sure if there is anything which could be improved on the docstring, or the behavior. Maybe if the docstring has put a tiny bit more emphasis on the implementation details: that it's going to be a reduce over the key-value pairs into an empty map, that would have triggered the "aha" moment for me. Anyways, I am not claiming there is something to be improved / changed here, especially without affecting performance. This is just "for the record" / "future reference".
