Clojure is a modern take on Lisp - complete with parentheses, macros and a code-as-data philosophy. But it doesn’t stop there: it runs on the JVM, giving you access to the entire Java ecosystem without writing a line of Java. It’s also designed to handle concurrency elegantly thanks to immutable data structures and tools like Software Transactional Memory and agents.
The language is dynamic and encourages interactive development via the REPL, making it easy to experiment and iterate quickly. Clojure is also known for its powerful macro system, which lets you create your own language constructs and DSLs with ease. If you think in functions and want an expressive, robust language, Clojure is well worth exploring.
So if you’re ready to embrace the parentheses and dive into functional programming with a twist, Clojure can change how you think about code.
