As I can’t really read Clojure (there’s a few bits there I don’t understand what’s going on), can anyone elaborate on what, if anything, is Clojure specific about the examples? Or could, say, they be just as easily written in python?

I find the persistent directory stack of ohmyzsh (easy enough to enable yourself in zsh) easier to use than things like autojump or z, and pretty much makes them unnecessary. I miss this basic functionality in fish (hoping someone will poin
