title: Can someone explain Clojure Transducers to me in Simple terms?
body: <p>I have tried reading up on this but I still don't understand the value of them or what they replace. And do they make my code shorter, more understandable or what?</p>
  
  <h2>Update</h2>
  
  <p>Alot of people posted answers, but it would be nice to see examples of with and without transducers for something very simple, which even an idiot like me can understand. Unless of course transducers need a certain high level of understanding, in which case I will never understand them :(</p>
