Clojure does have ffirst, fnext, nfirst, nnext tho' - and I'd question
why you'd need to string several of them together..
After seeing this thread I looked into car and cdr, and there's one thing I
really liked about them: the various compositions.
There's quite a number of functions like caar, cadr, cadadr, etc. It's
lengthy to do that in clojure with just first and rest.

I typed up the transcript, and as a result of this message decided to republish
the transcript in a place that isn't gone yet:

If anyone has permission to update the link to the transcript beneath part 1 of

Thank you everyone !!
I really appreciate you assistance and am so glad to hear about the
diversity of backgrounds.!

My first lisp was UCI lisp in the 80s. There were not many data structures
available aside from linked lists and trees.
Of course a computer as powerful as today's pocket
calculators would have required an entire building if built with the available
technology in these years.
I used common lisp l
I came to Clojure from a similar background and posted my thoughts of car,
cdr, and cons here

This works just fine, and as you would expect from Common Lisp:
user=> (cons 1 '())
(1)
Clojure does not have improper lists as Scheme and Common Lisp allow. You
can't have a cons pair of arbitrary pairs of things, but you can create vectors
of 2 arbitrary things if you want such a pair.

How do i use Cons with an atom to make a list?
(cons 1 1)

A number of "classic" lisp books have been translated to clojure, for instance
http://juliangamble.com/blog/2012/07/20/the-little-schemer-in-clojure/
Personally I felt relieved when I saw that clojure had abandoned the
anachronistic car/cdr stuff; the sequence abstraction is a lot nicer.
There a
Curtis:
You can do this if you want:
(def car first)
(def cdr rest)
but most people accustomed to Clojure would be much more familiar with first
and rest. The Content of the Address and Data Registers haven't been
applicable for a long time, but it wasn't only the names that are changed --

`car` is called `first` here and `cdr` could mean either `rest` or
`next` depending on what you mean/need.
And oh, `cons` is not exactly the same one from Common Lisp, etc.

Hello - I was familar with lisp years ago and am very new to clojure.
I am having a hard time understanding how to find 'car' and 'cdr'.
The nice thing about these functions is they always seem to be a part of
lisp.
I would like to use the little lisper to teach lisp to my co-workers so
