>telling you if the pieces still fit together? you're not supposed to do that in a dynamic language. Clojure's mentality towards data is "take what you need and ignore the rest", it's always the receiver of some data who is responsible to handle what they receive. A lot of problems people have with dynamic languages would go away if they embraced the dynamism. If you're constantly refactoring because you make assumptions about the state of the program globally you're not actually utilizing the dynamic aspect of the language. In practical terms, treat data in clojure the way you treat data over the web. When you get a some json data over a network you don't necessarily make absolute assumptions over its structure, you take what you need and deal with it when you receive it.
