I don't think Clojure's goal is to be "better Java". Rather, that for whatever task you might consider Java, writing that task in Clojure should be:

  * easier to write
  * perform just as well
  * be concurrency safe
Clojure isn't there yet, but it's well on its way I think.


it's easier to have unsafe concurrency in clojure. It's certainly easier to get it right by default than in java, but it's still very easy to introduce a race condition or some such.


Typo, I meant easy not easier


true but you can use it to script java witch would be better then doing it in java.
