Clojure, the language, provides many tools to manage *concurrency*, safe access to mutable state from multiple threads. It does not currently offer much in the way of *parallelism*, making something faster by dividing the work across multiple threads or *distributed* across multiple machines. Several people have experimented with adding parallelism to Clojure, such as the fork/join framework described in JSR-166. Others have successfully used Clojure with Java libraries for parallel computing, such as Hadoop and Hazelcast. It is a long-term goal of Clojure to be useful for parallel and distributed computing, but we're still in the early stages of that development.
