"Clojure is a dynamic programming language that targets the Java Virtual
|
||
|
|
Machine. It is designed to be a general-purpose language, combining the
|
||
|
|
approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with
|
||
|
|
an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming.
|
||
|
|
Clojure is a compiled language - it compiles directly to JVM bytecode,
|
||
|
|
yet remains completely dynamic. Every feature supported by Clojure is
|
||
|
|
supported at runtime. Clojure provides easy access to the Java
|
||
|
|
frameworks, with optional type hints and type inference, to ensure that
|
||
|
|
calls to Java can avoid reflection."

"Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code-as-data
|
||
|
|
philosophy and a powerful macro system. Clojure is predominantly a
|
||
|
|
functional programming language, and features a rich set of immutable,
|
||
|
|
persistent data structures. When mutable state is needed, Clojure offers
|
||
|
|
a software transactional memory system and reactive Agent system that
|
||
|
|
ensure clean, correct, multithreaded designs."
