Anyone who owns a RPi can go into the Pi-store and download MultiSnake to get a feeling of the problem...MultiSnake is basically a polished version of Stuart Halloway's snake game first featured in the book "Programming Clojure", with the major features you would expect from a snake game included and no reflection (well there is one place where I cannot get rid of reflection)...

If I remember correctly `lein repl` takes close to 55 seconds to show...clojure-py beats everything, hands down with respect to startup times...

That's actually a major issue for those wanting to use Clojure to work on a RPi or similar low end system. These systems are also so memory constrained, that last I checked, the CLJS compiler wouldn't run too well on them either. Now that doesn't stop people from using Node.js to run CLJS code once it's compiled and copied to the device, but still, not exactly the ideal solution.

    well, a tiny Clojure/Swing uberjar on the raspberry-pi
    (oracle-java7) takes 9-12 seconds to start!!! not so tolerable...
    in fact, in the absence of a splash screen, the user has the quite
    convincing illusion that nothing is happening!!!

    this of course doesn't mean anything, I just thought it is worth
    mentioning...
