Hi

I wrote a function to transform a variable number of arguments into embedded
maps.
Here is what it does:

> (enmap 1 2)
{1 2}
> (enmap 1 2 3)
{1 {2 3}}
> (enmap 1 2 3 4)
{1 {2 {3 4}}}
> (enmap 1 2 3 4 {5 6 7 8})
{1 {2 {3 {4 {5 6, 7 8}}}}}

Here is my implementation:

(defn enmap [arg & args]
  (if-let [more (butlast args)]
      (let [k (last more), v (last args)]
        (if-let [even-more (butlast more)]
          (apply enmap arg (concat even-more (list (hash-map k v))))
          (enmap arg (hash-map k v))))
      (apply hash-map arg args)))

Two things bother me:

   - Is there a way to make this function less complicated? without
   recursion maybe?
   - Is there something simpler than (concat even-more (list (hash-map k
   v)) to append an element at the end of a sequence?

Thanks
