Hey.... I didn't really have an equivalent of transients in D, it 
was more a general statement that there are cases where you can 
still get functional purity using mutable state rather than 
adhering to a strict functional approach.

So in much the same way as I 'cheat' slightly by using mutable 
state in the system, clojure cheats in much the same way using 
transients for intermediate calculations in an implementation 
provided that the interface is pure.

I didn't elaborate too much during the talk as *NO-ONE* nodded to 
say they new clojure so moved swiftly on :-)

Cheers,
