Oh, of course. Lisp is maybe a more natural analogue.

I guess Clojure takes things a step further. It goes from "everything is a list" to something slightly broader with Vectors/Maps/Sets/etc. - all through language primitives. (the algorithmic layer is cleverly done through the sequence abstraction)

Coming from C++, in effect having your STL containers/algos baked into the language is a breath of fresh air :)

Good maps + sets + other data structures is definitely something that I miss occasionally in array languages. I should look into Clojure more, I've heard lots of good things about it.
