Sean,

Thank you much. 

I do understand that Clojure is not a *statically typed language, *but it 
seems like it should be possible to deal with these reflexion issues when 
someone needs to. In my company we had a Scala versus Clojure debate and 
there was a vocal crowd that felt we should use Scala for performance 
issues. But I have the impression that, with some effort, Clojure is 
reasonably good, relative to Scala, in real-world performance. 

Having said that, I realize part of the advantage of a dynamically typed 
language is that it can use 3rd party libraries that might be highly 
flexible exactly because they take a wide range of types, and this makes it 
impossible to eliminate reflexion warnings, so there is a trade off between 
the universalness of the 3rd party libraries versus their performance 
characteristics.
