Ajay, It seems to me your questions are totally justified. It's a normal reaction to try to make links between things you know and things you discover. Fortunately, the world doesn't expect you to forget everything you've done in the past in order to try new other things.
Your questions, to be answered well (in deep detail, not just at the surface of things, and with sufficient examples so that you just feel "dump", with answers like "I know how to do, you'll eventually know too" - sort of -), would deserve a book on its own : "From java to clojure : Design patterns revisited", or something like that. The problem is, from each thing you pointed, one needs to go back to the underlying need, and from that need, go back to the underlying software principle. And then, from that, one can derive the software principle in clojure, show the several ways to do, etc. .... So there's really no problem with your questions, apart the fact that they're certainly too general to get a comprehensive answer. I (as other already did in this thread) encourage you to experiment with some concrete examples. It will be easier for you to get precise answers.
