I guess you are not familiar with Clojure, it adds a lot overhead over the overhead of the JVM to startup time.

- capableweb 5y agoJust to add some reference to why it can take a long time to start a REPL (for example): > As it turns out, Clojure start time is a complicated and multi-dimensional topic. Clojure projects are slow to start not only because of JVM — JVM itself starts in ~50 ms — but because of JVM specifics the classes are loaded slowly. Clojure projects are slow to start not only because of Clojure — Clojure itself starts in ~1 second — but because of Clojure specifics, the namespaces, especially not AOT-compiled one, are loaded slowly. And so on. http://clojure-goes-fast.com/blog/clojures-slow-start/ http://clojure-goes-fast.com/blog/clojures-slow-start/ A more recent comparison of Clojure, Java and some other Clojure-inspired languages: https://stuartsierra.com/2019/12/21/clojure-start-time-in-2019 https://stuartsierra.com/2019/12/21/clojure-start-time-in-20...
