Jark works with a persistent JVM. It runs the script by transferring the contents of the script to a remotely running JVM using the nREPL protocol. Thus the JVM startup overhead is negligible, which is needed for scripting/IDEs. The client is a light-weight binary (~80-100k, is written in OCaml and compiled to native) and has very minimum runtime dependencies.
lein-exec on the other hand spawns a new JVM upon each invocation of the script. lein-exec integrates well with the lein2 ecosystem. - isaac On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 6:35 AM, Daniel <doubleagen...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm curious.
