Its because the default abstractions provided as part of the language shape the way developers using that language approach problems. In Clojure, the sequence abstraction has been given a lot of thought and effort, which means that’s what Clojure developers will try to use. It also Clojure comes with a rich and powerful set if sequence functions which makes using sequences a breeze and lets you do super powerful things out if the box.

You could simply implement the exact same functions in other languages too and end up with similar code, butsince its not built in, most people won’t think in those abstractions.
