Very interesting perspective. I never thought about it that way, but it's true that one of my principal pleasures working with Clojure was about the data structures, and their very nice integration into the language. The concurrency features sounded exciting but were never of any use to me. But the consistent and extremely powerful data structures and associated libraries were my main subject of wonder, even if i didn't really notice it. Now that i'm working with python all day, even though i really really like this language, i can't help but hate the inconsistent way data structure works (and the fact that they are mutable, and that mutable and immutable operations are mixed up in the API without a clue). And i used to consider python as being quite nice data-structures wise.
