Guiding Principles

Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.

It’s common knowledge that code is read much more often than it is written.The guidelines provided here are intended to improve the readability of code and make it consistent across the wide spectrum of Clojure code.They are also meant to reflect real-world usage of Clojure instead of a random ideal. When we had to choose between a very established practiceand a subjectively better alternative we’ve opted to recommend the established practice.^[2]

There are some areas in which there is no clear consensus in the Clojure community regarding a particular style (like semantic indentation vs fixed indentation, semantic comments vs uniform comments, etc).In such scenarios all popular styles are acknowledged and it’s up to you to pick one and apply it consistently.

Fortunately Clojure is a Lisp, and Lisps are fundamentallysimple. Even though this guide was created a few years after Clojure(the first version was published in early 2013), you could see that mostClojure code in the wild was fairly uniform. We attribute this toboth the simplicity we already mentioned and to the fact that since day1 Clojurists adopted many of the style conventions of otherestablished Lisp dialects (e.g. Common Lisp and Scheme). This madethe work on this guide fairly easy and straight-forward, especially compared tothe massive exercise in frustration that was theCommunity Ruby Style Guide.^[3]

Clojure is famously optimized for simplicity and clarity. We’d like to believe that this guide is going to help you optimize for maximumsimplicity and clarity.

A Note About Consistency

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.

A style guide is about consistency.^[4]Consistency with this style guide is important.Consistency within a project is more important.Consistency within one class or method is the most important.

However, know when to be inconsistent — sometimes style guide recommendations just aren’t applicable. When in doubt, use your best judgment.Look at other examples and decide what looks best. And don’t hesitate to ask!

In particular: do not break backwards compatibility just to comply with this guide!

Some other good reasons to ignore a particular guideline:

• When applying the guideline would make the code less readable, even for someone who is used to reading code that follows this style guide.

• To be consistent with surrounding code that also breaks it (maybe for historic reasons) — although this is also an opportunity to clean up someone else’s mess (in true XP style).

• Because the code in question predates the introduction of the guideline and there is no other reason to be modifying that code.

• When the code needs to remain compatible with older versions of Clojure that don’t support the feature recommended by the style guide.

Translations

Translations of the guide are available in the following languages:

• Chinese

• Italian (Under progress)

Maximum Line Length

Where feasible, avoid making lines longer than 80 characters.

Tabs vs Spaces

Usespaces for indentation. No hard tabs.

Body Indentation

Use 2 spaces to indent the bodies offorms that have body parameters. This covers alldef forms, specialforms and macros that introduce local bindings (e.g.loop,let,when-let) and many macros likewhen,cond,as->,cond->,case,with-*, etc.

Function Arguments Alignment

Vertically align function (macro) arguments spanning multiple lines.

The reasoning behind this guideline is pretty simple - the arguments areeasier to process by the human brain if they stand out and stick together.

Function Arguments Indentation

Use a single space indentation for function (macro) argumentswhen there are no arguments on the same line as the function name.

This may appear like some weird special rule to people without Lisp background, but thereasoning behind it is quite simple. Function calls arenothing but regular list literals and normally those are aligned in the same way asother collection type literals when spanning multiple lines:

Admittedly, list literals are not very common in Clojure, that’s why it’s understandablethat for many people lists are nothing but an invocation syntax.

As a side benefit, function arguments are still aligned in this scenario as well. Theyjust happen to accidentally be aligned with the function name as well.

Bindings Alignment

Vertically alignlet (andlet-like) bindings.

Map Keys Alignment

Align vertically map keys.

Line Endings

Use Unix-style line endings.^[5]

Terminate Files With a Newline

End each file with a newline.

Bracket Spacing

If any text precedes an opening bracket((,{ and[) or follows a closing bracket(),} and]), separate thattext from that bracket with a space. Conversely, leave no space afteran opening bracket and before following text, or after preceding textand before a closing bracket.

No Commas in Sequential Collection Literals

Syntactic sugar causes semicolon cancer.

Don’t use commas between the elements of sequential collection literals.

Optional Commas in Map Literals

Consider enhancing the readability of map literals via judicious useof commas and line breaks.

Gather Trailing Parentheses

Place trailing parentheses on a single line instead of distinct lines.

An exception to the rule is a rich comment for REPL-oriented programming,lest gathering the comment’s closing parenthesis make the last form in the comment harder to use.A rich comment’s closing parenthesis may be on the next line.

Empty Lines Between Top-Level Forms

Use a single empty line between top-level forms.

An exception to the rule is the grouping of relateddefs together.

No Blank Lines Within Definition Forms

Do not place blank lines in the middle of a function ormacro definition. An exception can be made to indicate grouping ofpairwise constructs as found in e.g.let andcond, in case those don’tfit on the same line.

Occasionally, it might seem like a good idea to add a blank linehere and there in a longer function definition, but if you get to thispoint you should also consider whether this long function isn’t doingtoo much and could potentially be broken down.

No Trailing Whitespace

Avoid trailing whitespace.

One File per Namespace

Use one file per namespace and one namespace per file.

No Single Segment Namespaces

Avoid single-segment namespaces.

Namespaces exist to disambiguate names. Using a single segmentnamespace puts you in direct conflict with everyone else using singlesegment namespaces, thus making it more likely you will conflict withanother code base.

In practice this means that libraries should never use single-segmentnamespace to avoid namespace conflicts with other libraries.Within your own private app of course, you can do whatever you like.

There areother reasonswhy might want to avoid single-segment namespaces, so you shouldthink long and hard before making any use of them.

Namespace Segments Limit

Avoid the use of overly long namespaces (i.e., more than 5 segments).

Comprehensivens Form

Start every namespace with a comprehensivens form, comprised ofrefers,requires, andimports, conventionally in that order.

Line Breaks inns

When there are multiple dependencies, you may want give each one its own line.This facilitates sorting, readability, and cleaner diffs for dependency changes.

Prefer:require Over:use

In thens form prefer:require :as over:require :refer over:require:refer :all. Prefer:require over:use; the latter form should beconsidered deprecated for new code.

Sort Requirements and Imports

In thens form, sort your requirements and imports. This facilitates readability and avoids duplication, especially when the list of required / imported namespaces is very long.

Use Idiomatic Namespace Aliases

Many core Clojure namespaces have idiomatic aliases that you’reencouraged to use within your projects - e.g. the most common way torequireclojure.string is:[clojure.string :as str].

As noted in the next section, it’s generally considered idiomatic to usean alias that is the last segment of the namespace, if that makes it unique,or else the two segments, typically dropping redundant parts likeclj orcore.

Amongst Clojure’s core and Contrib namespaces, the following namespaces haveidiomatic aliases following that pattern:

Then there are some core and Contrib namespaces that have shorter idiomatic aliases:

And amongst commonly used community libraries, there are also many that havewidely-used, idiomatic aliases for several namespaces:

A Recipe for Good Namespace Aliases

Above we covered a handful of popular namespaces and their idiomatic aliases.You might have noticed that those are a bit inconsistent:

• clojure.string becomesstr

• clojure.pprint becomespp

• clojure.walk becomeswalk

• clojure.spec.alpha becomess

It’s clear that the one thing they have in common is that they aim to be concise, but still carry some meaning (aliasingclojure.walk tow wouldbe concise, but won’t carry much meaning).

But what to do about all the other namespaces out there that don’t have idiomatic aliases? Well, you better be consistent in your approach to deriving aliases for them,otherwise the people working on a shared Clojure codebase are going to experience a great deal of confusion. Here are a few rules that you should follow.^[6]

1. Make the alias the same as the namespace name with the leading parts removed.

   (nscom.example.application  (:require   [clojure.java.io:as io]   [clojure.reflect:as reflect]))

2. Keep enough trailing parts to make each alias unique.

   [clojure.data.xml:as data.xml][clojure.xml:as xml]

   Tip	Yes, namespace aliases can have dots in them. Make good use of them.

3. Eliminate redundant words such as "core" and "clj" in aliases.

   [clj-time.core:as time][clj-time.format:as time.format]

Use Consistent Namespace Aliases

Across a project, it’s good to be consistent with namespace aliases; e.g., don’t requireclojure.string asstr in one namespace butstring in another.If you follow the previous two guidelines you’re basically covered, but if you opt for custom namespace aliasing scheme it’s still important to apply itconsistently within your projects.

Namespace Naming Schemas

When naming namespaces favor the following two schemas:

• project.module

• organization.project.module

When you’re following theproject.module naming scheme and your projecthas a single (implementation) namespace it’s common to name itproject.core.Avoid theproject.core name in all other cases, as more informative namesare always a better idea.

Composite Word Namespace Segments

Uselisp-case in composite namespace segments (e.g.bruce.project-euler).

Functions and Variables

Uselisp-case for function and variable names.

Protocols, Records, Structs and Types

UseCapitalCase for protocols, records, structs, and types. (Keepacronyms like HTTP, RFC, XML uppercase.)

Predicate Methods

The names of predicate methods (methods that return a boolean value)should end in a question mark(e.g.,even?).

Unsafe Functions

The names of functions/macros that are not safe in STM transactionsshould end with an exclamation mark (e.g.reset!).

Conversion Functions

Use-> instead ofto in the names of conversion functions.

Dynamic Vars

Useearmuffs for things intended for rebinding (ie. are dynamic).

Constants

Don’t use a special notation for constants; everything is assumed a constantunless specified otherwise.

Unused Bindings

Use_ for destructuring targets and formal argument names whosevalue will be ignored by the code at hand.

However, when it can help the understanding of your code, it can be useful to explicitly name unused arguments or maps you’re destructuring from. In this case, prepend the name with an underscore to explicitly signal that the variable is supposed to be unused.

Idiomatic Names

Followclojure.core's example for idiomatic names likepred andcoll.

• in functions:

  • f,g,h - function input

  • n - integer input usually a size

  • index,i - integer index

  • x,y - numbers

  • xs - sequence

  • m - map

  • k,ks - key, keys

  • v,vs - value, values (as in a key/value pair)

  • s - string input

  • re - regular expression

  • sym - symbol

  • coll - a collection

  • pred - a predicate closure

  • & more - variadic input

  • xf - xform, a transducer

  • ns - namespace^[7]

• in macros:

  • expr - an expression

  • body - a macro body

  • binding - a macro binding vector

• in methods (when specified indefprotocol,deftype,defrecord,reify, etc):

  • this - for the first argument, indicating a reference to the object - or alternatively, a consistent name which describes the object

Optional New Line After Function Name

Optionally omit the new line between the function name and argumentvector fordefn when there is no docstring.

Multimethod Dispatch Val Placement

Place thedispatch-val of a multimethod on the same line as thefunction name.

One-line Functions

Optionally omit the new line between the argument vector and a shortfunction body.

Multiple Arity Indentation

Indent each arity form of a function definition vertically aligned with itsparameters.

Multiple Arity Order

Sort the arities of a functionfrom fewest to most arguments. The common case of multi-arityfunctions is that some K arguments fully specifies the function’sbehavior, and that arities N < K partially apply the K arity, andarities N > K provide a fold of the K arity over varargs.

Function Length

Avoid functions longer than 10 LOC (lines of code). Ideally, mostfunctions will be shorter than 5 LOC.

Function Positional Parameters Limit

Avoid parameter lists with more than three or four positional parameters.

Pre and Post Conditions

Prefer function pre and post conditions to checks inside a function’s body.

Dynamic Namespace Manipulation

Avoid the use of namespace-manipulating functions likerequire andrefer. They are entirely unnecessary outside of a REPLenvironment.

Forward References

Avoid forward references. They are occasionally necessary, but such occasionsare rare in practice.

Declare

Usedeclare to enable forward references when forward references arenecessary.

Higher-order Functions

Prefer higher-order functions likemap toloop/recur.

Vars Inside Functions

Don’t define vars inside functions.

Shadowingclojure.core Names

Don’t shadowclojure.core names with local bindings.

Alter Var Binding

Usealter-var-root instead ofdef to change the value of a var.

Nil Punning

Useseq as a terminating condition to test whether a sequence isempty (this technique is sometimes callednil punning).

Converting Sequences to Vectors

Prefervec overinto when you need to convert a sequence into a vector.

Converting Something to Boolean

Use theboolean function if you need to convert something to an actual boolean value (true orfalse).

You’ll rarely need an actual boolean value in Clojure, but it’s useful to know how to obtain one when you do.

when vsif

Usewhen instead ofif with just the truthy branch, as in(if condition (something…​)) or(if …​ (do …​)).

if-let

Useif-let instead oflet +if.

when-let

Usewhen-let instead oflet +when.

if-not

Useif-not instead of(if (not …​) …​).

when-not

Usewhen-not instead of(when (not …​) …​).

when-not vsif-not

Usewhen-not instead of(if-not …​ (do …​)).

not=

Usenot= instead of(not (= …​)).

printf

Preferprintf over(print (format …​)).

Flexible Comparison Functions

When doing comparisons, leverage the fact that Clojure’s functions<,>, etc. accept a variable number of arguments.

Single Parameter Function Literal

Prefer% over%1 in function literals with only one parameter.

Multiple Parameters Function Literal

Prefer%1 over% in function literals with more than one parameter.

No Useless Anonymous Functions

Don’t wrap functions in anonymous functions when you don’t need to.

No Multiple Forms in Function Literals

Don’t use function literals if the function body will consist ofmore than one form.

Anonymous Functions vscomplement,comp andpartial

Prefer anonymous functions overcomplement,comp andpartial, as this resultsin simpler code most of the time.^[8]

Threading Macros

Prefer the use of the threading macros-> (thread-first) and->>(thread-last) to heavy form nesting.

Threading Macros and Optional Parentheses

Parentheses are not required when using the threading macros for functions having no argument specified, so use them only when necessary.

Threading Macros Alignment

The arguments to the threading macros-> (thread-first) and->>(thread-last) should line up.

Defaultcond Branch

Use:else as the catch-all test expression incond.

condp vscond

Prefercondp instead ofcond when the predicate & expression don’tchange.

case vscond/condp

Prefercase instead ofcond orcondp when test expressions arecompile-time constants.

Short Forms In Cond

Use short forms incond and related. If not possible give visualhints for the pairwise grouping with comments or empty lines.

Set As Predicate

Use aset as a predicate when appropriate.

inc anddec

Use(inc x) &(dec x) instead of(+ x 1) and(- x 1).

pos? andneg?

Use(pos? x),(neg? x) &(zero? x) instead of(> x 0),(< x 0) &(= x 0).

list* vscons

Uselist* instead of a series of nestedcons invocations.

Sugared Java Interop

Use the sugared Java interop forms.

Compact Metadata Notation For True Flags

Use the compact metadata notation for metadata that contains onlyslots whose keys are keywords and whose value is booleantrue.

Private

Denote private parts of your code.

Access Private Var

To access a private var (e.g. for testing), use the@#'some.ns/var form.

Attach Metadata Carefully

Be careful regarding what exactly you attach metadata to.

Avoid Lists

Avoid the use of lists for generic data storage (unless a list isexactly what you need).

Keywords For Hash Keys

Prefer the use of keywords for hash keys.

Literal Collection Syntax

Prefer the use of the literal collection syntax whereapplicable. However, when defining sets, only use literal syntaxwhen the values are compile-time constants.

Avoid Index Based Collection Access

Avoid accessing collection members by index whenever possible.

Keywords as Functions for Map Values Retrieval

Prefer the use of keywords as functions for retrieving values frommaps, where applicable.

Collections as Functions

Leverage the fact that most collections are functions of their elements.

Keywords as Functions

Leverage the fact that keywords can be used as functions of a collection.

Avoid Transient Collections

Avoid the use of transient collections, except forperformance-critical portions of the code.

Avoid Java Collections

Avoid the use of Java collections.

Avoid Java Arrays

Avoid the use of Java arrays, except for interop scenarios andperformance-critical code dealing heavily with primitive types.

Record Constructors

Don’t use the interop syntax toconstruct type and record instances.deftype anddefrecordautomatically create constructor functions. Use those instead ofthe interop syntax, as they make it clear that you’re dealing with adeftype or adefrecord. Seethisarticlefor more details.

Note thatdeftype doesn’t define themap->Type constructor. It’s available only for records.

Custom Record Constructors

Add custom type/record constructors when needed (e.g. to validateproperties on record creation). Seethisarticlefor more details.

Feel free to adopt whatever naming convention or structure you’d like for such custom constructors.

Custom Record Constructors Naming

Don’t override the auto-generated type/record constructor functions.People expect them to have a certain behaviour and changing this behaviourviolates the principle of least surprise. Seethisarticlefor more details.

Preferclojure.math Functions Over Interop

Prefer math functions fromclojure.math over (Java) interop or rolling your own.

The JDK packagejava.lang.Math provides access to many useful mathfunctions. Prior to version 1.11, Clojure relied on using these via interop, but this hadissues with discoverability, primitive performance, higher order application,and portability. The newclojure.math namespace provides wrapper functions forthe methods available injava.lang.Math forlong anddouble overloads with fastprimitive invocation.

Preferclojure.string Functions Over Interop

Prefer string manipulation functions fromclojure.string over Java interop or rolling your own.

Reuse Existing Exception Types

Reuse existing exception types. Idiomatic Clojure code — when it doesthrow an exception — throws an exception of a standard type(e.g.java.lang.IllegalArgumentException,java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException,java.lang.IllegalStateException,java.io.IOException).

Preferwith-open Overfinally

Favorwith-open overfinally.

Don’t Write a Macro If a Function Will Do

Don’t write a macro if a function will do.

Write Macro Usage before Writing the Macro

Create an example of a macro usage first and the macro afterwards.

Break Complicated Macros

Break complicated macros into smaller functions whenever possible.

Macros as Syntactic Sugar

A macro should usually just provide syntactic sugar and the core ofthe macro should be a plain function. Doing so will improvecomposability.

Syntax Quoted Forms

Prefer syntax-quoted forms over building lists manually.

:added

The most common way to document when a public API was added to alibrary is via the:added metadata.

:changed

The most common way to document when a public API was changed in alibrary is via the:changed metadata. This metadata makes sense only forvars and you should be using it sparingly, as changing the behavior ofa public API is generally a bad idea.

Still, if you decide to do it, it’s best to make that clear to the APIusers.

:deprecated

The most common way to mark deprecated public APIs is via the:deprecatedmetadata. Normally you’d use as the value the version in which somethingwas deprecated in case of versioned software (e.g. a library) or simplytrue in the case of unversioned software (e.g. some web application).

:superseded-by

Often you’d combine:deprecated with:superseded-by, as there would besome newer API that supersedes whatever got deprecated.

Typically for vars you’ll use a non-qualified name if the replacement livesin the same namespace, and a fully-qualified name otherwise.

:see-also

From time to time you might want to point out some related vars/namespaces that the users of your library might be interested in.The most common way to do so would be via the:see-also metadata, which takes a vector of related items.When talking about vars - items in the same namespace don’t need to fully qualified.

:no-doc

Documentation tools likeCodox likecljdoc recognize:no-doc metadata.When a var or a namespace has:no-doc metadata, it indicates to these tools that it should be excluded from generated API docs.

To exclude an entire namespace from API docs:

To exclude vars within a documented namespace:

Indentation Metadata

Unlike other Lisp dialects, Clojure doesn’t have a standard metadata format to specify the indentation of macros.CIDER proposed a tool-agnosticindentation specification based on metadata in 2015.^[9] Here’s a simple example:

This instructs the indentation engine that this is a macro with one ordinary parameter and a body after it.

Unfortunately, as of 2020 there’s still no widespread adoption of:style/indent and many editors and IDEs would justhardcode the indentation rules for common macros.

Self-Explanatory Code

Endeavor to make your code as self-explanatory as possible.If you fail to achieve this follow the rest of the guidelines in this section.

Heading Comments

Write heading comments with at least four semicolons. Those typically serve to outline/separatemajor section of code, or to describe important ideas. Often you’d have a section comment followedby a bunch of top-level comments.

Top-Level Comments

Write top-level comments with three semicolons.

Code Fragment (Line) Comments

Write comments on a particular fragment of code before that fragmentand aligned with it, using two semicolons.

Margin (Inline) Comments

Write margin comments with one semicolon.

Avoid using those in situations that would result in hanging closing parentheses.

Semicolon Space

Always have at least one space between the semicolonand the text that follows it.

English Syntax

Comments longer than a word begin with a capital letter and usepunctuation. Separate sentences withone space.

Obviously punctuation is not the most important thing abouta comment, but a bit of extra effort results in better experiencefor the readers of our comments.

No Superfluous Comments

Avoid superfluous comments.

Comment Upkeep

Keep existing comments up-to-date. An outdated comment is worse than no commentat all.

#_ Reader Macro

Prefer the use of the#_ reader macro over a regular comment whenyou need to comment out a particular form.

Refactor, Don’t Comment

Good code is like a good joke - it needs no explanation.

Avoid writing comments to explain bad code. Refactor the code tomake it self-explanatory. ("Do, or do not. There is no try." --Yoda)

Comment Annotations

Prefer Docstrings

If a form supports docstrings directly prefer them over using:doc metadata:

Docstring Summary

Let the first line in the docstring be a complete, capitalizedsentence which concisely describes the var in question. This makes iteasy for tooling (Clojure editors and IDEs) to display a short a summary ofthe docstring at various places.

Leverage Markdown in Docstrings

Important tools such ascljdoc support Markdown in docstrings so leverage it for nicely formatted documentation.

Document Positional Arguments

Document all positional arguments, and wrap them them with backticks(`) so that editors and IDEs can identify them and potentially provide extrafunctionality for them.

Document References

Wrap any var references in the docstring with ` so that toolingcan identify them. Wrap them with[[..]] if you want to link to them.

Docstring Grammar

Docstrings should be composed of well-formed English sentences. Every sentenceshould start with a capitalized word, be grammatically coherent, and endwith appropriate punctuation. Sentences should be separated with a single space.

Docstring Indentation

Indent multi-line docstrings by two spaces.

Docstring Leading Trailing Whitespace

Neither start nor end your docstrings with any whitespace.

Place Docstring After Function Name

When adding a docstring — especially to a function using the above form — takecare to correctly place the docstring after the function name, not after theargument vector. The latter is not invalid syntax and won’t cause an error,but includes the string as a form in the function body without attaching it tothe var as documentation.

Test Directory Structure

Store your tests in a separate directory, typicallytest/yourproject/ (asopposed tosrc/yourproject/). Your build tool is responsible for makingthem available in the contexts where they are necessary; most templateswill do this for you automatically.

Test Namespace Naming

Name your nsyourproject.something-test, a file which usually lives intest/yourproject/something_test.clj (or.cljc,cljs).

Test Naming

When usingclojure.test, define your testswithdeftest and name themsomething-test.

Library Coordinates

If you are publishing libraries to be used by others, make sure tofollow theCentral Repositoryguidelinesfor choosing yourgroupId andartifactId. This helps to preventname conflicts and facilitates the widest possible use. A goodexample isComponent - itscoordinates arecom.stuartsierra/component.

Another approach that’s popular in the wild is to use a project (or organization)name as thegroupId instead of domain name. Examples of such naming would be:

• cider/cider-nrepl

• nrepl/nrepl

• nrepl/drawbridge

• clj-commons/fs

Minimize Dependencies

Avoid unnecessary dependencies. For example, a three-line utilityfunction copied into a project is usually better than a dependencythat drags in hundreds of vars you do not plan to use.

Tool-agnostic

Deliver core functionality and integration points in separateartifacts. That way, consumers can consume your library withoutbeing constrained by your unrelated tooling preferences. For example,Component providescore functionality, andreloaded provides leiningenintegration.

Be Functional

Code in a functional way, using mutation only when it makes sense.

Be Consistent

Be consistent. In an ideal world, be consistent with these guidelines.

Common Sense

Use common sense.

Lint Tools

There are some lint tools created by the Clojure community that might aid youin your endeavor to write idiomatic Clojure code.

• kibit is a static code analyzer forClojure which usescore.logic tosearch for patterns of code for which there might exist a more idiomaticfunction or macro.

• clj-kondo is a linter that detectsa wide number of discouraged patterns and suggests improvements, based on thisstyle guide.

Code Formatters

While most Clojure editors and IDEs can format the code, according to the layout guidelinesoutlined here, it’s always handy to have some command-line code formatting tools. There area couple of options for Clojure that do a great job when it comes to formatting the codeas suggested in this guide:

• cljfmt

• cljstyle

• zprint (the documentation for configuring it to use the community formatting rules ishere)
