Clojure is a modern, functional, and dynamic dialect of the Lisp programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It emphasizes immutability, first-class functions, and a rich set of immutable data structures, making it suitable for concurrent programming and building robust systems.

About Clojure
Clojure was created in 2007 by Rich Hickey to address the complexities associated with concurrent programming in existing languages. Hickey designed Clojure to leverage the power of functional programming and immutability, running on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to take advantage of the extensive ecosystem and libraries available in Java.
Clojure's strengths include its emphasis on immutability, first-class functions, and seamless Java interoperability. Its weaknesses involve a steep learning curve and less widespread adoption compared to mainstream languages. Competitors include Scala, Kotlin, and other JVM languages that offer functional programming features.
