Evaluating `org-babel-clojure` blocks returns nill & result

Question

Why the results is 'nil5'? Can't be just 5?

#+begin_src clojure :results
(+ 1 4)
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: nil5

Also:

#+begin_src clojure
(print "Hello World!")
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: nilnil

I was expected just to print "Hello World!" in RESULTS.

print doesn't return the printed string, it returns nil. Where the second nil comes from, though, I have no idea. — choroba, Commented Oct 3, 2019 at 9:22
In second case should be #+begin_src clojure :results output to return "contents of STDOUT". orgmode.org/manual/Results-of-evaluation.html But :results value should output "value of last expression" but it eval everything in src_block. — slk500, Commented Oct 3, 2019 at 9:32

4

#+begin_src clojure :results pp
(+ 1 4)
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: 5

#+begin_src clojure :results output
(print "Hello World!")
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: Hello World!

So we have to specify the output.
