Apache Groovy vs. Clojure vs. Java vs. cloverage Comparison Chart

Clojure is a robust, practical, and fast programming language with a set of useful features that together form a simple, coherent, and powerful tool. Clojure is a dynamic, general-purpose programming language, combining the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. Clojure is a compiled language, yet remains completely dynamic, every feature supported by Clojure is supported at runtime. Clojure provides easy access to the Java frameworks, with optional type hints and type inference, to ensure that calls to Java can avoid reflection. Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system. Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language and features a rich set of immutable, persistent data structures. When a mutable state is needed, Clojure offers a software transactional memory system and reactive Agent system.

Cloverage uses clojure.test by default. If you prefer use midje, pass the --runner :midje flag. (In older versions of Cloverage, you had to wrap your midje tests in clojure.test's deftest. This is no longer necessary.) For using eftest, pass the --runner :eftest flag. Optionally you could configure a runner passing :runner-opts with a map in project settings. Other test libraries may ship with their own support for Cloverage external to this library; see their documentation for details.
