Yes, although the abstraction is necessarily leaky in that you cannot enforce it in the absence of static typing. > If yes, how would you implement one? Like in any other language: by implementing an API without making any promises about the data structure being used. You can find an example in clojure.core.zip, which defines a zipper structure without exposing the internal representation in its interface.
