Key differences between Lisp and Clojure

CharacteristicLispClojure
SyntaxLisp has a prefix notation syntax, which can be difficult for beginners to understand. It uses a lot of parentheses and can be hard to read.Clojure has a more modern syntax that is easier to read and write. It uses square brackets and curly braces instead of parentheses.
ParadigmLisp is a functional programming language that supports imperative and object-oriented programming paradigms.Clojure is a functional programming language that is designed to be a modern version of Lisp. It is a dialect of Lisp that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
TypingLisp is dynamically typed, which means that variables can hold values of any type.Clojure is dynamically typed, which means that variables can hold values of any type.
PerformanceLisp is known for its fast performance and efficient memory usage.Clojure is designed to be fast and efficient, but it may not be as fast as Lisp in some cases.
Libraries and frameworksLisp has a large number of libraries and frameworks available, but they may not be as well-documented or widely used as those in other languages.Clojure has access to all of the Java libraries and frameworks, which makes it easy to integrate with existing Java code. It also has a growing number of Clojure-specific libraries and frameworks.
Community and supportLisp has a small but dedicated community of developers who are passionate about the language.Clojure has a larger and more active community than Lisp, which means that there are more resources and support available for developers.
Learning curveLisp has a steep learning curve due to its syntax and functional programming paradigm.Clojure has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers who are already familiar with Lisp or functional programming.
