How is Clojure 'designed' to be hosted? What is the design there, other than just leaving out functionality and delegating it to the host environment?

Other languages which weren't 'designed to be hosted' can't be hosted? Hmm, I was under the impression that the JVM hosts a lot of standard languages, for example Scheme dialects and Common Lisp.




It makes access to the underlying host a first-class language feature, so interop with the JVM or JavaScript is super-simple.
