Top 15 Clojure Alternative and Similar Softwares | Nov 2024

Clojure is a dynamic programming language that targets the Java Virtual Machine (and the CLR ). It is designed to be a general-purpose language, combining the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. Clojure is a compiled language - it compiles directly to JVM bytecode, yet remains completely dynamic. Every feature supported by Clojure is supported at runtime. Clojure provides easy access to the Java frameworks, with optional type hints and type inference, to ensure that calls to Java can avoid reflection. ...

1. Scala

2. Perl 6

Perl 6 Perl 6 unifies many great ideas that aren't usually found in other programming languages. While several other languages offer some of these features, none of them offer all.Features:- Object-oriented programming including generics, roles and multiple dispatch- Functional programming primitives, lazy and eager list evaluation, junctions, autothreading and hyperoperators (vector operators)-......

3. Hy

4. RapydScript

RapydScript RapydScript is a pre-compiler for JavaScript, similar to CoffeeScript, but with cleaner, more readable syntax. The syntax is very similar to Python, but allows JavaScript as well. It's not another Python-in-a-browser clone, it's actually JavaScript with more Pythonic syntax.RapydScript breaks some of the rules of Python to make JavaScript development......

5. Wyvern

Wyvern Wyvern is a new programming language designed to help developers be highly productive when writing high-assurance applications. The first major innovation in Wyvern is type-specific languages, a feature that allows programmers to create literals of a given type (e.g. a SQLQuery type) in a language appropriate to that type (e.g.......

9. REBOL

REBOL Rebol (historically REBOL) is a cross-platform data exchange language and a multi-paradigm dynamic programming language designed by Carl Sassenrath for network communications and distributed computing. It introduces the concept of dialecting: small, optimized, domain-specific languages for code and data.Douglas Crockford of JavaScript fame has described REBOL as "a more modern......

10. Crystal programming language

Crystal programming language A compiled language with Ruby like syntax and type inferenceLanguage goals:- Have a syntax similar to Ruby (but compatibility with it is not a goal)- Statically type-checked but without having to specify the type of variables or method arguments.- Be able to call C code by writing bindings to it......

11. Ada

Ada Ada 2012 is the next generation of the world’s premier programming language for engineering safe, secure and reliable software.Ada is widely used in critical systems, where any anomaly might lead to very serious consequences, e.g., accidental death, injury or severe financial loss. Examples of systems where Ada is used include......
