ClojureScript won't have the startup time of the JVM and is probably better suited for command line scripting.

    That is incorrect. It needs the JVM to compile, but once compiled it's pure JavaScript... so the startup time would only be node's.

      Good point. Thanks!

  Why don't they integrate something like nailgun? Run a JVM in the background and redirect command line execution. http://www.martiansoftware.com/nailgun/background.html http://www.martiansoftware.com/nailgun/background.html

    People have done that with Clojure, see cake and jark. There are tradeoffs.
