(or the slightly hackier but probably easier version: create a tool that
translates a subset of Clojure to RPython)

So what I'm gathering (I'm still trying to grok) is that clojure-metal is
an approach that somewhat parallels PyPy, except in Clojure, and except
that instead of defining a type-inferrable subset RClojure, you instead
define an internal DSL via mjolnir that allows you to specify the types
withi
So what do you see as the advantage in going the clojure-metal path? Is it
that RPython is such a pain to debug that it ends up not being worth it in
the end? Is the tradeoff essentially being able to do things exactly how
you want in LLVM versus having to put up with warts that might not quit

Would an alternate approach be to write a Clojure interpreter in RPython
and have the PyPy toolchain create everything for you? That way you get an
interpreter with a tracing JIT for free, plus it looks like they've got STM
working now. It seems like that could save a lot of work. Am I missin
Wow I can't believe my silly question actually led to a whole independent
project!

Would Clojure have anything to gain by having something like PyPy's
JIT-generator create a custom JIT for it, a'la

Or does the JVM already do the stuff that is mentioned in that
article? (Or does none of that stuff apply to Cloj
