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 dynamic programming language that targets the [[runs on vm::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.
