Hi Andy,
Great point! Both solutions convey accurately the same meaning? I have a
subjective preference to nil as the absence of things in b that are not in
a. Conversely {:x {}} implies that :x is replaced by an empty map, which is
indeed equivalent, but to my mind the map was always there. It does call
out the fact that the collection is now empty, which might be useful if one
was interested in identifying that condition.
Do you have any thoughts on why {:x {}} might be better?
Regards,
Timothy
