Clojure is a modern, functional programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and is a dialect of Lisp, known for its emphasis on immutability, concurrency support, and simplicity. Created by Rich Hickey, it's used by software engineers building data processing systems, web backends, and concurrent applications where robust state management matters. It interoperates directly with Java libraries, making it popular in enterprise environments already invested in the JVM ecosystem.
