The name "closure" is confusing since it's actually Google's Closure Compiler here and not the Clojure language https://developers.google.com/closure/compiler/


The language is spelled "Clojure" if I'm remembering correctly


yep correct, my mistake!


Though ClojureScript does use the closure compiler under the hood


I'm not sure you meant to say Closure language. Do you mean Clojure language? Or the Google Closure JavaScript library perhaps?

Either way I can relate to the confusion!
