Yeah -- " this is an adaptation of a benchmark for testing GC so we are interested in the whole tree being allocated before any nodes are GC'd - which probably excludes lazy evaluation." So this is testing the compiler and garbage collector more than the language. Given that Clojure's immutable data structures are much more complex than the simple classes in the Java example, I don't think it will ever be possible to write a competitive implementation in pure Clojure. However, the advantage of having Java as a host language is that you can use it for low-level operations like this. -Stuart Sierra --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
