Thank you, for your answer. It doesn't convince me, though.
I am well aware of the class loading mechanism of the JVM. But if I compile against, say guava-12.0.jar (beautiful stuff by the way), and use those classes at runtime, there is no delay in using them whatsoever. At least not a delay of nearly a second on my machine, the first time I use bytecode generated by clojure. I am quite sure, that the bytecode generated by clojure, initializes some sort of Runtime for itself, the first time it is called. My question is, does this happen more than once ? Furthermore clojure does not spit out classes. It spits out bytecode. Heinz. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
