Where is Clojure used?
Clojure is being used extensively for processing large volumes of data. It is very well suited to data mining/commercial-AI (ie: Runa) and large scale predictions (aka WeatherBill). Clojure’s concurrency story really helps in these data heavy domains where parallel processing is simply the only answer.
Is clojure interpreted or compiled?
Clojure is a compiled language, so one might wonder when you have to run the compiler. Anything you enter into the REPL or load using load-file is automatically compiled to JVM bytecode on the fly.
Why is Clojure used?

Who owns Clojure?
