Blerk. That's going to be linear time. Why not use sorted-map?
(def items (into (sorted-map) {1 {:id 1 :subitems []} 2 {:id 2 :subitems
[]}))
(defn add-subitem [items id subitem]
(update-in items [id :subitems] conj subitem))
Now you can just pick the item out you want by its id, without a linear
search, but they'll still be sorted by id.
