Hash Array Mapped Tries are what underly the default maps in Clojure: http://lampwww.epfl.ch/papers/idealhashtrees.pdf

They are pretty amazing. Of course there are implementations in Haskell now, but the reason they are especially cool in Clojure is how well they integrate with the language and its other features.
