Clojure is a LISP that runs on the JVM and on the CLR. So, yes, by making adjustments in theory it should run on .Net (it is one of the things I was thinking about, but unfortunately at the moment the development is paused).

The cool thing of doing this with Clojure is that by having by default a very nice management of hashmaps (clojure.org/guides/learn/hashed_co...) it makes dealing with hierarchical data a breeze. Oh, and no objects, just functions and data :)

Normally my applications upload data from excel to an MS SQL database and store/query/transform data from the tables there => then generate reports. My current endevours is to find easy methods to do this upload/export, and then work with the data in the application. I am studying now .net core razor pages for a web-based approach. Anyway thanks for the info.
