Critical Clojure update in Fedora 40 addresses type confusion issues, enhancing system security and stability.
Change for system JDK from 17 to 21

Summary

Clojure is a dynamic programming language that targets the Java

Virtual Machine. It is designed to be a general-purpose 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 - it

compiles directly to JVM bytecode, 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.
