I'm not sure, I don't know how much Clojure 1.8 improved. Currently this will bring a big one: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/changes.md#11-direct-linking https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/changes.md#11... Also Clojure isn't tied to Java 8, it's compatible back to Java 5, so this brings a lot of overhead.

Clojure has required a minimum of Java 6 since Clojure 1.6.

  Still a lot of old code, and sorry for my misinformation. Java 6 to Java 8 will reduce code size by a order of magnitude. Even Scala will reduce code size and Scala 2.12 is just amazing how good it fits to Java 8. I hope Clojure will do the same. We written a small ERP project and looking forward to have a calculation layer in clojure.
