Clojure is a dynamic and functional dialect of the Lisp programming language on the Java platform. Designed by Rich Hickey, Clojure is a general-purpose language combining the interactive development approach of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language, treats code as data, and has a macro system, and it runs on the Java Virtual Machine, Common Language Runtime, and JavaScript engines.
