It seems to me what you’re struggling with is functional programming (the paradigm) instead of Clojure (the language or grammar) itself. This is pretty common for people who are used to the C-like languages. I strongly recommend reading “Clojure for the Brave and True” [1] (especially, Part 2) to anyone who is getting started on either functional programming and/or Clojure.
