Real life performance generally favors Scala over Clojure, but by a relatively small factor (2x). This is mostly due to the clojure implementation's use of reflection to achieve dynamism. Dynamism? You know what I mean. You can make this up with some really clever tools for parallelism though, if your problem fits.
