I'm new to clojure. I've return an utility function to filter a sequence of 
map by some key but it's not working. Here is the sample code - 

(def data [{:id 1 :b 2}
                {:id 3 :b 4}
                {:id 5 :b 6}
                {:id 7 :b 8}])
In real app this is a sequence of maps read from csv file.

(defn get-data 
  [& attrs]
  (let [grps data]
    (if (empty? attrs)
      grps
      (map #(select-keys % attrs) grps))))

(filter #(= (% :id) 7) (get-data :id :b))

Why above expression works but same expression wrapped as function (below) 
does not work?

(defn get-data-by-id [id & attrs]
  "always pass :id attribute"
    (filter #(= (:id %) id) (get-data attrs)))

(get-data-by-id 3) ;; returns () this is probably ok (?) since :id key is 
not available
(get-data-by-id 3 :id :b) ;; returns () but why this does not work?

Pleas help me to figure this out.

thanks & cheers!
