>could it be you haven't yet realized it's actually not worthless?
could be, I didn't even run it, but the problem is your implementation limited by underlying platform and if it wasn't made with lisp in mind (and this is the case) result will have tons of limitations.
>would you elaborate what exactly makes clojure a parasite on jvm?
Maybe it's ok for JVM, but I can tell you what makes it less lisp (and the reason is parasitism): absence of tail recursion.

Yes, and I doubt this Zygomys can reload code in runtime because of limitations of it's platform. >so from "clojure is worthless parasite on jvm" we're down to "clojure is a lisp which i haven't tried yet but it's on jvm so i think it lacks tail recursion" Nope, I wasn't talking about clojure.
