Clojure vs. Java vs. MRTK-Unity vs. Racket 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.

MRTK-Unity is a Microsoft-driven project that provides a set of components and features, used to accelerate cross-platform MR app development in Unity. Provides the cross-platform input system and building blocks for spatial interactions and UI. Enables rapid prototyping via in-editor simulation that allows you to see changes immediately. Operates as an extensible framework that provides developers the ability to swap out core components. A button control that supports various input methods, including HoloLens 2's articulated hand. Standard UI for manipulating objects in 3D space. Script for manipulating objects with one or two hands. 2D style plane which supports scrolling with articulated hand input. A script for making objects interactable with visual states and theme support. Various object positioning behaviors such as tag-along, body-lock, constant view size, and surface magnetism. Script for laying out an array of objects in a three-dimensional shape.
