+;; let's work on an algorithm together!

+;; this produces a lazy sequence of strings:
+(map #(str "Hello, " % "!") ["Alice" "Bob" "Charlie"])
+
+;; here's the non-lazy transducer-based version:
+(into []
+      (map #(str "Hello, " % "!"))
+      ["Alice" "Bob" "Charlie"])
+
+;; map with a single function argument produces a transducer:
+(map #(str "Hello, " % "!"))
+
+;; we can build up xforms (transformers) using the `comp` function:
+(def xf (comp (filter #(> (count %) 3))
+              (map #(str "Hello, " % "!"))))
+
+;; and now use it with `into`:
+(into []
+      xf ; Bob gets filtered out
+      ["Alice" "Bob" "Charlie"])
+
+;; "traditional" SQL-like rows of columns:
+^:kind/table
+[{:name "Alice" :age 30 :city "Wonderland"}
+ {:name "Bob" :age 25 :city "Builderland"}
+ {:name "Charlie" :age 35 :city "Chocolate Factory"}]
+
+;; more columnar format:
+^:kind/table
+{:name ["Alice" "Bob" "Charlie"]
+ :age [30 25 35]
+ :city ["Wonderland" "Builderland" "Chocolate Factory"]}
+
+;; and display it as a portal widget:
+^:kind/portal
+{:name ["Alice" "Bob" "Charlie"]
+ :age [30 25 35]
