Clojure

Clojure is a modern, dynamic dialect of Lisp hosted on the Java Virtual Machine. It emphasizes immutability, functional programming, and robust concurrency primitives.

Installation

Clojure requires Java and rlwrap. Install the prerequisites and the official Clojure CLI tools:

apt update
apt install -y default-jdk rlwrap curl
curl -L -O https://github.com/clojure/brew-install/releases/latest/download/linux-install.sh
chmod +x linux-install.sh
./linux-install.sh

Verification

Verify the Clojure installation:

clj -e '(println "Clojure installed successfully!")'

Writing and Running Code

(println "Hello, World!")

Run the Clojure script:

clj -M hello.clj
