A Lisp for the JVM built on immutability and data — Hickey's 'simple made easy' manifesto in executable form.

Descended from Common Lisp
Influenced by Scheme Erlang Haskell
Created by Rich Hickey

Rich Hickey's Clojure (2007) — a Lisp for the JVM — made immutability default, STM built-in, and 'simple made easy' the creed.\n\nIt is the most principled Lisp in production use — Nubank, Walmart, and the REPL-driven-development culture are its exports.
