Clojure data type's are fantastic, but the main thesis of my post isn't what's required for FP in Clojure, rather, what's required to become comfortable with pure functional programming concepts which is why I reference Haskell a lot in the post. The examples just happen to be in Clojure.

Sorry for the confusion.

I get it. But my point is that clojure is not snobbish about pure functional programming. It's angle is data centricity. Very different to haskell in that respect and type centricity of it.

I agree with you, but I also never said it's snobbish about pure functional programming. The way I see it, pure functional programming, like anything, is just a tool in the belt to help think about solutions in a different manner.
