Oh, for bonus fun, I’d do it a different way in clojure (using a map):

(def pairwise-sum zipmap)

You might also have fun assuming clojure.zip[1] has anything to do with the zipmap function. If you actually figure out what a ‘zipper’ is, do please let me know because it’s been evading me for about a year.
