Clojure will be around as long as the jvm. It’s mostly done at the core level, most updates are to leverage new host features nowadays. The rest is happily provided at the library level by the community (which is still very prolific).

And it’s not tied to the jvm per say, look at clojurescript (and derivatives) or the upcoming jank.

It’s far from dead. As much as I like CL, the ecosystem is a bit of a desert compared to the jvm.



Wow. I clicked on your user name for some reason. You've been here 19 years and only have 34 karma and made only 16 comments!

Anyway, I came here to say Clojure also targets JavaScript and could target more like ClojureCLR https://clojure.org/about/clojureclr

Here, have another karma point!


Thanks! Long time lurker indeed.

I also forgot the very solid ClojureDart.
