[Clojure](http://clojure.org) is a dynamic programming language that targets the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Designed as a general purpose language, Clojure combines the approachability of a scripting language with a robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language, and features a rich set of immutable, persistent [data structures](http://clojure.org/data_structures). Clojure is open source, and information about contributing to the language [can be found here](http://clojure.org/contributing). Rich Hickey, the creator of Clojure, wanted a modern Lisp for functional programming, symbiotic with the established Java platform, and designed for concurrency; thus, Clojure was born. Here are a couple quotes that exemplify the goals of Clojure: * _Good design is not about making grand plans, but about taking things apart._ * _Programming is not about typing...it's about thinking._
