Yes. When you have no hammer you don't recognize nails.

Can you support your claims by evidence instead of trite idioms? A piece of code made drastically simpler using zip-with should be enough.

Don't get me wrong, I just want to learn, but your "hammer" just looks like a regular one to me without an explanation.

You keep repeating this, and I find it ill-thought. Clojure offers lots of hammers, saws, drills and other tools.

But you seem like you want millions of them -- a hardware store all your own.

More is not always better, and you don't need to have a tool for every little specialized case (nor it's good for your coding -- fewer but solid abstractions and a set of tools that can be combined to build the most elaborate structures are better than an explosion of tools for everything).
