Yes, that's exactly what we're doing. As an aside note, the fact that
Python is so dynamic allows us to do some really interesting things
with sequences:

Hi Timothy,

Yes please!!! I'd love to be able to use Python libs from a Clojure.
Great work - I'll be following this with interest and would love to
get involved. I've done a lot of advanced

On CPython...well about as good as CPython is comared to Java. On PyPy
however, we're pretty close to Clojure. Currently on a factorial
example, clojure-jvm runs in about 15 sec. On clojure-py it's about 24
sec. But there's always room for more optimization.

I know it's early, but have there been any thoughts/plans around
interop and dependency management, possibly providing some sort of
bridge between lein and pip/easy_install/virtualenv? And is
performance the m

The core.clj file is probably the best way to get an idea of how
clojure-py differs and is similar to clojure:
