Clojure explicitly embraces the host, and it is also one of the first thing people criticizes haha. Language built for platform vs language ported-to platform - Many new languages still take 'Language as platform' approach - When ported, have platform-on-platform issues - Memory management, type-system, threading issues - Library duplication - If original language based on C, some extension libraries written in C don’t come over There's a lot of time where the core team says, Java already does this well, just use the one from Java.
