Actually, Clojure has typehinting! It looks like ^String or ^Int but usually it is not required because the compiler is very good at determining things. You can use the Clojure function (typeof? the-object-goes-here) to get the type. It is not a type-less language, it is a language of heterogenous collections and therefore lax type rules because they gotta go into the same collections together. The collections can be built in creative ways, so using fundamental elements to make larger nested collections is direct and possible. We can always ask what the type of an item is, and we can introspect contents, it's not as cumbersome as some people make it out to be via hn comment.
