> Why does Racket perform so slowly on benchmarks compared to Clojure and SBCL? Clojure benefits from the optimization of the JVM and SBCL has a couple of pretty bad-ass hackers working on the compiler. Racket on the other hand uses a pretty of the shelf JIT compiler which might not be as specialized as the other two. Language-wise, there is hardly anything that would make Racket inherently slower than Clojure. Maybe continuations.
