Typed Clojure, an optional type system for Clojure

Getting started

Clojure

Clojure, with types

Typed Clojure preserves Clojure's strengths, enhancing many of them with the safety of static type checking.

Clojure maps

Idiomatic structural typing. Use plain maps with confidence.

Typed Clojure has great support for checking usages of keyword maps. Useful map operations are understood by the type checker, including keyword lookups, adding/removing keys and merging maps.

Local flow reasoning. Check regular Clojure code.

Typed Clojure uses simple yet inexpensive and effective inference techniques to reason about local program flow.

Infer let bindings

Local type inference. Simple, predictable.

Typed Clojure supports local type inference similar to Scala. Annotations are required for top-level vars, complicated macros, and loop/function parameters, while many other things can be inferred, like local let bindings, including nested destructuring and function return types.

Type checking as a function. Truly à la carte.

Type checking is never run implicitly as part of evaluation. Typed Clojure provides a simple interface of functions to run the type checker: use them at the REPL, in a unit test, at the command line, integrate it with your IDE ... the choice is yours!
