Technology
Clojure is a development technology used to build, support, or power modern software applications and digital products.
Clojure is a modern Lisp dialect that runs primarily on the JVM and emphasizes functional programming, immutable data, and simple abstractions. It can interoperate with Java libraries and is used for backend systems, data processing, automation, and applications that benefit from functional programming techniques. Clojure's persistent data structures and concurrency tools support applications where predictable state management is important.
For projects using Clojure, teams should consider the application's requirements, expected scale, integration points, deployment environment, testing approach, and long-term maintenance. Choosing the technology should also take into account the existing skills of the development team and the libraries or services already used by the product.
