Weird Clojure build-in function names

Clojure has a rich set of build-in functions for manipulating data structures. Library developers have to name each of them as concise as possible to make them convenient to use. Selecting a word that can describe the whole behavior of each function is a very important step and they did this very well.

But for non-native English speaker that coming from Java and Ruby world, I found that some of the
function names are hard to guess and remember what they do. These are an example list of them.

• quot
• assoc
• dissoc
• interleave
• interpose
• juxt
• reductions
• trampoline

Btw, I have a feeling that I remember them now after wrote this blog. :)
