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. |
