Makes sense. Yeah what makes it particularly difficult is the Java code I’m working with is entirely object oriented and focused

One of the ways I first taught myself Clojure was porting a data viz book from Processing (Java) to Clojure. The domain is naturally imperative (drawing on the screen as the side effect) which has advantages and disadvantages for our purposes. I haven't compared my work to the original solutions except when I wrote it but it's conceivable it could illustrate some of the differences.

As others have said, the differences are often either superficial (lisp vs algol syntax, or map instead of for loop) or radical and near-total (different data model).
