ParadigmClojure is a functional programming language that also supports imperative and object-oriented programming paradigms.Racket is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming paradigms.
TypingClojure is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are checked at runtime.Racket is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are checked at runtime.
PerformanceClojure is known for its good performance due to its efficient implementation on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).Racket is an interpreted language and may have slower performance compared to compiled languages.
