"How is installing a JVM better than installing any other interpreter or runtime?"
Maybe, just maybe, the fact that Clojure isn't exactly the only program on earth running on the JVM and that, hence, there's a probability p far from zero that the JVM is already installed on your system / on your users' systems!?
