Just because you mentioned it, I played a lot with the ClojureC compiler and implemented the metacircular evaluator for it two years ago. There is a really nice REPL for it: https://github.com/bertfrees/cljc.repl But ClojureC is not fast, because statically compiling all the abstractions in (look at the emitted C code), makes it slow. You can directly call C though and get a self-contained binary. I guess Ferret is better for embedded development though. I found mjolnir really interesting and would like to see a way to build native building blocks from Clojure that way. At least one could implement performance critical numeric routines directly in Clojure including annotations and call them from the JVM (e.g. on the GPU). This should cover a lot of what Julia does, but I am not familiar enough with its internals (e.g. JIT and how it standardizes tensor memory layout etc.).
