Clearly, global overhead of assertions depends on number and type of
invariants that you check.
My experience was simliar to Paul's. Compililng/disabling the assertions
away helps a great deal in many cases.
Paul ! I've started using pjstadig.assertions and it works like a charm :)

So it turns out it is possible to have runtime disabled assertions in
Clojure without a compiler change, but I don think it is possible to have
assertions that can be disabled per package without a compiler change (if
at all).
I have released a new library that allows you to globally enable/disabl

This is the way Clojure's assert works (by compiling away the assertion).
This is not the way Java assertions work

Phillip, Paul - thanks a lot for you suggestions!
Phillip - I will definitely give your trick a try.
Right now, without experimenting, I see two shortcomings. First, as Paul
mentioned, checking assertion status via call to Java function will
introduce performance penalty, whereas the use of pu
As reflected in the linked discussion and Jira ticket, it seems possible to
be able to use -ea/-da with Clojure. It would definitely require a compiler
change, and I'm not aware of any further movement to make Clojure's asserts
use a mechanism compatible with -ea/-da.
An additional annoyance (a
The problem is that you would still have a performance hit. As I
understand, the reason that Java assertions have no runtime penalty when
disabled is because they depend on the value of a final field in a class
which the JIT will eliminate as dead code when that final field is set to
false. The

Dear All,
Is it possible to use Java assertion system in Clojure?
I want to put invariant checks in my code which can be turned on/off at
runtime with java -ea/-da.
