This library provides a collection of useful programming concepts that I have collected from using other languages. Most of them come from the [clojure](http://clojure.org) programming language but I expect to be adding more as I find them.

At present we have support for the following concepts:

- Runtime polymorphism via:
    - Multi-methods
    - Protocols
- Immutable data structures:
    - Persistent Vectors
- Transducers
