The slower startup time has nothing to do with DLR, I think. It is all about doing JIT on load and loading full assemblies. ClojureCLR starts VERY quickly if you NGEN it.
This was addressed here:http://clojureclr.blogspot.com/2011/12/using-ngen-to-improve-clojureclr.html And more recently on the ClojureCLR list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/clojure-clr/LbzsUoJe_h8 Quick comparison: A: $ time java -jar clojure-1.6.0.jar -e "(println :a)" B: $ time ./Clojure.Main.exe -e "(println :a)" A: real 0m0.761s user 0m0.015s sys 0m0.015s B: # ilmerge+ngen real 0m0.152s user 0m0.015s sys 0m0.000s On Wednesday, November 12, 2014 11:03:22 PM UTC-6, Aleš Roubíček wrote: > > Unfortunately startup time of ClojureCLR is much worse because it targets > DLR. > > On Wednesday, November 12, 2014 8:16:19 PM UTC+1, Michael Klishin wrote: >> >> On 12 November 2014 at 21:50:57, Evan Zamir (zamir...@gmail.com) wrote: >> > I just read that MS is open sourcing .NET.
