The Clojure language is great, but the dependency on the Java ecosystem and the JVM are deal breakers for me.

- Chris_Newton 14y agoIf you’re working on embedded code, the overhead for something like the JVM could easily be prohibitive because of the size. And if you’re working on anything that needs to do a small job quickly, such as command line tools as fauigerzigerk mentioned, the overhead for something like the JVM will almost certainly be prohibitive because of the delay at start-up.
