Hello, I recently stumbled upon this page: http://java.dzone.com/articles/contrasting-performance They are comparing several languages (Java, Scala, Python, Erlang, Clojure, Ruby, Groovy, Javascript), and Clojure rated very badly:
Object Oriented List Reduction Element Recursion Java 1.6 0.637 1.435 2.816 Clojure 1.2.1 - 25.966 28.753 Maybe the clojure's scripts were not very idiomatic? If some guru wants to check them, here's the source code: - https://github.com/dnene/josephus/blob/master/element-recursion/josephus.clj - https://github.com/dnene/josephus/blob/master/list-reduction/josephus.clj All the best, Roberto -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
