Well, maybe most of the time, but there's cases where the concrete type semantics matters a lot, specially with sets but sometimes with vectors too, right now i'm using into or just calling vec|set or reducers library but maybe I'll try to implement this generics library I just talk about as it's really easy to do that in clojure =)

Yes I actually agree...there are times where you don't want to mess with the types. In my work, this often comes up in clojure-java interop. I recently implemented a 'DataSet' protocol and extended it to all collection types (both persistent and non-persistent). Yes sure there is some code duplication, but now I can 'normalise' any collection (or gather basic statistics from it) using the most efficient way (depending on the type) and without messing with the actual concrete types. you can see the approach here:
