Key differences between Clojure and JavaScript
Characteristic | Clojure | JavaScript |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax, which is very different from JavaScript's C-like syntax. | JavaScript has a C-like syntax, which is very different from Clojure's Lisp-like syntax. |
Paradigm | Clojure is a functional programming language that emphasizes immutability and pure functions. | JavaScript is a multi-paradigm language that supports both functional and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Clojure is dynamically typed, which means that types are checked at runtime. | JavaScript is dynamically typed, which means that types are checked at runtime. |
Performance | Clojure is generally considered to be faster than JavaScript due to its emphasis on immutability and functional programming. | JavaScript can be slower than Clojure due to its mutable data structures and object-oriented programming features. |
Libraries and frameworks | Clojure has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to JavaScript, but it has a strong focus on functional programming and offers libraries like core.async and core.logic. | JavaScript has a large ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like React, Angular, and Vue. |
Community and support | Clojure has a smaller community compared to JavaScript, but it has a dedicated following and strong support from its core team. | JavaScript has a large and active community with many resources and support available online. |
Learning curve | Clojure has a steep learning curve due to its Lisp-like syntax and functional programming paradigm. | JavaScript has a relatively low learning curve due to its C-like syntax and widespread use in web development. |
