项目历史

Clojure was created by Rich Hickey as a modern Lisp for an established host platform. The official rationale says it embraces the JVM, modernizes Lisp, fosters functional programming with immutable persistent data structures, and provides concurrency support through software transactional memory and agents.

The official releases page lists Clojure 1.0.0 in July 2009 and current stable Clojure 1.12.5 in May 2026. The official history page points to Rich Hickey's HOPL-IV paper, 'A History of Clojure,' as the project's long-form historical record.

采用历史

Clojure adoption is tied to both JVM library distribution and command-line tools. The official downloads page gives Maven and deps.edn coordinates for the language artifact, and the Clojure CLI reference describes clj and clojure commands that run programs, start REPLs, invoke functions, run tools, and construct classpaths from deps.edn sources.

The supplied input shows broad package-manager distribution for the CLI package: apk, Homebrew, Debian, dnf, MacPorts, Nix, pacman, Ubuntu, and zypper.

使用方式

The Clojure CLI is invoked as clojure or clj. Official CLI docs describe using deps.edn files to configure dependencies and classpaths, starting a REPL, executing functions with -X, running tools with -T, and running main namespaces or scripts with -M.

The deps.edn reference describes project paths, dependencies, aliases, Maven dependencies, Git dependencies, local dependencies, and tool definitions. User configuration lives in the Clojure CLI config directory, computed from CLJ_CONFIG, XDG_CONFIG_HOME, or ~/.clojure.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

Clojure is package-nerd significant because the language runtime is a Maven artifact, the CLI is an OS-packageable tool, and deps.edn makes dependency coordinates a plain data file. That split lets the CLI version, the language artifact version, and project dependencies be reasoned about separately.

For Unix package managers, the brew formula ships the clj and clojure commands, while real Clojure programs commonly resolve org.clojure/clojure and libraries from Maven repositories. The official CLI docs also make tools executable through the same dependency-resolution model.
