hash-map*

hash-map*, from Chris Houser, lets you build a Clojure map similarly to the built-in hash-map. The value-add here is that you can refer to earlier key-value pairs when building up the map.

(defmacro hash-map* [sym & body]
  `(let [~sym {}
         ~@(mapcat (fn [[k v]] [sym `(assoc ~sym ~k ~v)]) (partition 2 body))]
     ~sym))

This sort of reminds me of let, where you can bind new values based on previous ones.
