This title makes no sense. How come Clojure is better Java than Java? The features mentioned have nothing to do with “Java”-ness. Unless there is a Java equivalent of Python’s import this and an article proving how Clojure does “line X” better than Java, the title is an unnecessary click bait to an otherwise ok write up.

In principle, Clojure can be just as fast as Java : both are compiled to Java bytecode instructions, which are executed by a Java Virtual Machine … Clojure code will generally run slower than equiva- lent Java code. However, with some minor adjustments, Clojure performance can usually be brought near Java performance.
