Clojure vs. Java vs. Oracle Spatial and Graph vs. Sencha Ext JS 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.

Graph databases, part of Oracle’s converged database offering, eliminate the need to set up a separate database and move data. Analysts and developers can perform fraud detection in banking, find connections and link to data, and improve traceability in smart manufacturing, all while gaining enterprise-grade security, ease of data ingestion, and strong support for data workloads. Oracle Autonomous Database includes Graph Studio, with one-click provisioning, integrated tooling, and security. Graph Studio automates graph data management and simplifies modeling, analysis, and visualization across the graph analytics lifecycle. Oracle provides support for both property and RDF knowledge graphs, and simplifies the process of modeling relational data as graph structures. Interactive graph queries can run directly on graph data or in a high-performance in-memory graph server.
