By a wide margin, Java 8 is the most popular version used with Clojure and it is what I would recommend using. I know of no reports of somehow "invalid" bytecode with Clojure and Java 8. Clojure does not use the Java compiler (javac) but generates bytecode using the ASM library. The JVM spec has changed very little over the years (significantly less so than Java) and it would be quite surprising to me if the bytecode we generate in Clojure somehow did not work with Java 8. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
