## Summary:

  Provides font-lock, indentation, navigation and basic refactoring for the
  Clojure programming language (https://clojure.org).

  Using clojure-mode with paredit or smartparens is highly recommended.

  Here are some example configurations:

    ;; require or autoload paredit-mode
    (add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook #'paredit-mode)

    ;; require or autoload smartparens
    (add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook #'smartparens-strict-mode)

  See inf-clojure (https://github.com/clojure-emacs/inf-clojure) for
  basic interaction with Clojure subprocesses.

  See CIDER (https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider) for
  better interaction with subprocesses via nREPL.

* [#439](https://github.com/clojure-emacs/clojure-mode/issues/439): Add `interpreter-mode-alist` entries for `clojure`, `clj`, `planck`, `joker`, and `jank`, so that scripts with shebang lines are recognized automatically.
