Is it a bad idea to put functions in Clojure maps, like in JavaScript?

Question

I'm new to Clojure and finding my sea legs. I was wondering whether it is considered good or bad practice, from a functional programming standpoint, to put functions in Clojure maps and then pass those maps around like quasi-objects, as is often done in JavaScript. Explanations will also be appreciated.

Answer 1

Do it, if it makes your code shorter or easier to understand, or test, or debug.

Or if you'd just like to. Trust your judgement.

Answer 2

Clojure's multimethods are essentially maps of functions, so no, it's not a bad idea at all.
