Key differences between Clojure and Lisp

CharacteristicClojureLisp
SyntaxClojure has a simpler syntax than Lisp, with a focus on parentheses and a more functional style.Lisp has a more complex syntax than Clojure, with a focus on parentheses and a more flexible style.
ParadigmClojure is a functional programming language that emphasizes immutability and concurrency.Lisp is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports functional, procedural, and object-oriented programming.
TypingClojure is dynamically typed, meaning that types are checked at runtime.Lisp is dynamically typed, meaning that types are checked at runtime.
PerformanceClojure is known for its good performance, especially in terms of concurrency and parallelism.Lisp can be fast, but its performance depends heavily on the implementation and the specific use case.
Libraries and frameworksClojure has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Ring, Compojure, and Pedestal.Lisp has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Clojure, but still has some notable ones like Common Lisp's ASDF and Quicklisp.
Community and supportClojure has a strong and active community, with many resources and support available online.Lisp has a smaller but dedicated community, with many resources and support available online.
Learning curveClojure has a moderate learning curve, especially for those new to functional programming or Lisp-like syntax.Lisp has a steep learning curve, especially for those new to functional programming or Lisp-like syntax.
