- "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."
