LPT: While learning Clojure, the following (almost always true) mental-model help me massively at "getting" Clojure.

"It's Maps All the Day Down"

Spend a lot of time, just learning how you (CRUD) map contents.

There will be enough time to tackle the other cases/tech (atoms, protocols etc) but until you get good at maps don't get bogged down by the other cool stuff.

"It's Maps All the Day Down"

In reality - its actually Trees all the way down. But, because you don't have proper structures in Clojure, one uses Maps when one should actually be using Trees.
