Each week, we discuss a different topic about Clojure and functional programming.

If you have a question or topic you'd like us to discuss, tweet @clojuredesign, send an email to feedback@clojuredesign.club, or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.

This week, the topic is: "Sets! What are they good for?" We examine one of the lesser used data structures in Clojure and talk about its unique characteristics and uses.

Selected quotes:

"Sets aren't going to get top billing."
"Sets are really about uniqueness."
"Sets let us calculate differences cheaply."
"Clever is a word I used to like when I was a younger programmer."
"Clever now equals hours of suffering!"
