Right ! But you still had fun the last decade correct /s ? :P

My "real response" to is, I haven't seen this complaint(concern) to this extend that you describe in the wild or in my own life. I've definitely not coded in Clojure long enough to have seen any of that like you have, thus far my experience has been good with 'just' using maps.

I do feel my next "step-up" would be to incorporate something like SPEC or Mali to "define/check" the fields/structure of said maps.
