> Interop with systems - Java has one of the biggest ecosystems on the planet The Java ecosystem is big but concentrated on some application domains. Other application domains (including mine, scientific computing) rely on a "native code" ecosystem (C and Fortran libraries). The JVM is very bad at interop with native code when large data is involved, because the JNI puts security before efficiency. The CLR does a better job there, so those looking for native interop could explore ClojureCLR. The main problem there is the Windows-centricity of the CLR ecosystem. Even if the CLR is in theory portable, with Mono providing an implementation for Linux and MacOS, many important tools and libraries for the CLR are available only for Windows, or are a pain to use elsewhere.
