Clojure - Modern Lisp
summary
Clojure described as a practical modern Lisp that compiles to JavaScript and the JVM with live REPL-driven development, immutable persistent collections and lightweight mutable refs like atoms; macros operate on code-as-data and macros expand into plain host code so small surface syntax grows into large runtime behavior; shows data specs for validation, Datomic as an append-only immutable database, and a React wrapper (Reagent) used for front-end work; gives real examples including REPL hotfixing and macro expansion demos.
