I want to reshare something. The `Getting Started' section in the clojure reference contains a link to the `Getting Started' section of a wiki. On that wiki page, two years or so, ago, there was a script, that showed how to run a REPL on rlwrap. That script was great stuff. Sadly, it disappeared

Yes, I do compile my clojure code ahead of time (AOT) to byte code. Does that mean, that your, ahead of time compiled clojure code, has no noticeable delay, when you first call it ? If in the middle of the lifetime of an app, this delay happens, i can not consider it small, if 1 requests are

Thank you, for your answer. It doesn't convince me, though. I am well aware of the class loading mechanism of the JVM. But if I compile against, say guava-12.0.jar (beautiful stuff by the way), and use those classes at runtime, there is no delay in using them whatsoever. At least not a delay of

I use clojure more and more in production. To use it even more there, I need to be certain about the answer of the following question. My experiments lead me to the conjecture, that the answer is yes. But a proof can only be given by someone, who is familiar with clojure's implementation of which
