What is Clojure

Clojure is a modern, functional programming language that is designed to be simple, expressive, and powerful. It is a dialect of Lisp and runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), making it easy to integrate with existing Java applications. Clojure provides a rich set of features for functional programming, including immutable data structures, lazy evaluation, and higher-order functions. It also supports concurrency and parallelism through its use of software transactional memory.
