(defn update-my-atom [a name]
  (let [new-state (assoc-in @a [:foo :bar] merge {:name name})]
    (swap! a (fn [old] new-state))))


;; refactored into:


(defn get-new-state [state name]
  (assoc-in state [:foo :bar] merge {:name name}))

(defn update-my-atom [a name]
  (swap! a get-new-state name))
