I too was intrigued by this and cobbled together a quick test to see if this made it possible to create command-line apps that start up more quickly [1]. It appears that this is indeed the case, but, of course you still need to pay JVM startup time.
I was also interested in what Sam Beran accomplished, wishing the same approach was available in iOS. I haven't thought of a clean way to do it and simply load the JS into JavaScriptCore [2], paying several hundred milliseconds at startup, which would be nice to eliminate. The main aspect of all of this appears to be the whole-program optimization aspect eliminating lots of unnecessary code. I'm currently wondering if this is on the plate for Clojure 7.
