I don’t know clojure. Is this normal terminology, ie to use “atom” this way? Seems like a bad name for the concept since the whole idea of “atoms” is that they’re indivisible (back when physics thought they were indivisible).

They're called atoms because operations on them are atomic, I think.

Atomic types appear in Java as well, this looks very much like an AtomicReference from a distance: https://clojure.org/reference/atoms
