Clojure is statically typed - in practice everything is a java.lang.Object. Checkmate, type system enthusiasts >:D. Except macros, I suppose. If you try to pass function arguments that aren't a Java object or primitive IMO it won't work. [0] More seriously, if you want something with type T, Clojure can give you something with type T.
