Clojure is a dynamic programming language that targets the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Designed as a general purpose language, Clojure combines the approachability of a scripting language with a robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language, and features a rich set of immutable, persistent .
