Joker is a small Clojure dialect interpreter written in Go that also serves as a Clojure/ClojureScript linter and formatter. It offers fast startup, a REPL, script execution, and editor integrations for on-the-fly code checking.

Use cases

  • lint clojure code for syntax errors and arity mismatches
  • run clojure scripts with fast startup
  • format clojure source files
  • try out clojure expressions in a lightweight repl
  • check clojurescript code in editors
  • write small scripting utilities in clojure

When to choose

  • you need a fast-starting clojure interpreter for scripting
  • you want lightweight clojure linting without a full JVM
  • you need a clojure formatter in CI or editors

When to avoid

  • you need full Clojure/JVM compatibility and libraries
  • you need high-performance compiled clojure
  • you need a complete clojure development environment
