For a tiny Java-only command-line program, startup time is very quick. For a tiny Clojure uberjar, startup time on my desktop is about a second. Tolerable. A `lein run` in a tiny project takes a little over 2 seconds. To start up a `lein repl`, it takes around 3 seconds, or 5 seconds if I'm within a project (longer for a cold start). Those places, I think, is where most complaints lie regarding startup time. (This is all without using grenchman.) Regardless though, I still think there would be value in a small-footprint natively-compiled Clojure with easy access to C libraries. Even without a JIT and without Java's expansive standard library. But, point taken about how much work the rest of the foundation would require. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
