>From my playing with it so far, even if I switch "big" developments to that Python will have to remain part of my toolbox due to how horrendously slow Clojure and clojure-based tools are to start up While I agree that tools which take a long time to start up can be annoying I don't believe that an IDE which takes 30 seconds to start up, but is left open for days at a time should be an issue. Are you referring to the IDE or the interpreter?
