Not sure if it's a "bias". The JVM does start up slowly. This has never been an issue for me in all the years I've been using Clojure. If I need "scripts" with short start-up times, I'll use Babashka (GraalVM) or ClojureScript (Node). Same language, instant start-up. But then I don't expect to get good performance from those VMs for long-running services with large memory allocations. Use the right tool for the job at hand?
