Yeah those error messages completely baffled me for the first few hours I spent in the Clojure REPL. It was strange enough to not have car/cdr and cons for working with tuples, but then I wrote a simple recursive algorithm and got a java.lang.StackOverflowError. I now understand why and the alternative idioms that Clojure provides, but at the time it was a WTF moment.
