The code is a typical snippet in imperative style. A lot of mutations
that I don't even know how to start morphing it to Clojure.

use is it to store strings in a tree keyed by the string's characters?
If you know the path to the string, you already know the string itself,
and you don't need the tree at all!

Can you explain what the code is supposed to do in English? Java is a
little hard to read. :-)
Are you doing Huffman coding or similar?

The
It might be Huffman coding but I don't know Hoffman coding in depth, so I
can't be precise. :)
But any way, it is a snippet written in an imperative style that I'm trying
to transfer into a functional one.
The amount of mutation and the if statements are blocking me from doing it
in Clojure.
This is close, though it only permits values at leaves and stores the
values in the reverse order. Depending on what you need, this might be
sufficient:
(defn insert [container letters value]
(update-in container letters #(conj % value)))
e.g. (- {} (insert foo 3) (insert foo 4) (insert bar
Here's a version that allows values to be anywhere in the tree:
(defn insert [[container values] [letter letters] value]
(if letter
[(update-in container [letter] #(insert % letters value)) values]
[container (conj values value)]))
e.g. (- [{} []] (insert foo 4) (insert f 5) (insert
