Hey, By slow speed, do you mean startup/compilation time or execution time of running programs? I have noticed that the execution time is actually pretty good and can be close to Java execution time (if you think Java execution time is good).
The startup/compilation time really bugs me. I observed that the interpreter requires ~1s past the JVM startup time to execute a small program [1]. It seems like the most bang for your buck would be to try to improve the JVM implementation since nearly everyone uses that and many people wish to leverage the Java library ecosystem. - Brandon -- 1. http://dpaste.com/832616/ On Sat, Nov 17, 2012 at 10:31 AM, Ahmed Shafeeq Bin Mohd Shariff <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi guys, > > I've been frustrated with Clojure's slow speed on the JVM.
