Nice extension! Feels right too, clojure does feel a lot like passing around similar clay bricks. When all the bricks line up, it's kind of like Lego? The analogy also opens up another difference. In clojure, you often end up passing around a lot of maps with string keys. What are those keys exactly? You have to crack open the clay brick to take a look at how it works. With the stick model, you can often see how the sticks work if the bundle of sticks has been color coded nicely - eg, well constructed generics. Luckily cracking open a Clojure brick is as simple as ctrl-clicking, so it's not nearly as bad as it sounds! Programming parables are definitely weird though - programming does not have true analogies with the real world. It's more of a superset of the real world and the use of programming languages is more akin to defining physical laws than building bridges with clay or sticks. I don't think we as humans have really come to understand exactly what we are unlocking with the development of programming and how vast it really is.
