I understand hosting on a VM has it's own (huge) advantages: GC, libraries, proved practices and vast amount of research and community effort already available; no doubt on that part.
It is just having a mature and well designed cross-platform natively compiled language (other than C and C++) has it's own advantages (I do not mean Clojure should go down that path; I was just asking). Some high level languages come to mind like Haskell, OCaml, Gambit-C Scheme (and for sure some others) but they lack in some areas and not fully cross platform. Clojure is a fantastic language (Although I have just scratched the surface) and It would be "nice" to have it natively compiled.
