Clojure on Semaphore

Semaphore has introduced official support for testing and deploying Clojure projects, marking it as the third language supported alongside Ruby and JavaScript. Setting up a Clojure project on Semaphore involves simple steps, including authorizing access to GitHub repositories and selecting a project to build, with preinstalled tools like Leiningen 2.3.4 and OpenJDK 7. Clojure is a dynamic, general-purpose language running on the Java Virtual Machine, known for its immutable data structures and support for high-performance, concurrent applications. It emphasizes simplicity through small functions grouped in namespaces, challenging traditional object-oriented paradigms with its functional programming approach. Clojure's adoption is growing, with increasing discourse about replacing legacy systems and its recommendation as a language to master. Resources for learning Clojure include tutorials, presentations, books, and the Clojure Toolbox, with a Discord community available for further discussion.
