A Tuple in Clojure is a very simple data structure, usually represented as two related values in a vector
[value1 value2]
The value of a tuple is in its simplicity, although greater responsibility is required to use the tuple values in the desired way.
The tuple provides less structure and meaning than a hash-map, as the values in the tuple have no explicit key (although the first value could be perceived as the key, but then a hash-map representation would feel more appropriate)
