title: Idiomatic way to assoc multiple elements in vector
body: <p>I have a one-dimensional vector, a vector of indices to update within the vector, and a value which should be associated with each of these indices.</p>
  
  <p>I'm new to Clojure, and imagine that there might be a more idiomatic way to write the routine that I ended up with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(defn update-indices-with-value [v indices value]
    (loop [my-v v 
           my-indices indices
           my-value value]
      (if (empty? my-indices)
        my-v
        (recur (assoc my-v (peek my-indices) my-value)
               (pop my-indices)
               my-value)))) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know that assoc can be used to update multiple keys or indices within an associative collection, but I couldn't figure out the syntactic magic to use assoc with an arbitrary list of keys or indices. </p>
