ClojureScript on Android

I would be a bit skeptical of their load time results without additional info. The numbers are all ambiguous without any details on how they produced them. Another Java 6 alternative on Android is always welcomed, but I'd just like to see them be a bit more verbose on their results. It would also be interesting to see some numbers on the things that really matter in the long run, such as app performance after it loads.

1) What version of Android was tested?

2) Dalvik or ART enabled?

3) Device used and how much memory it had?

4) Reproducible script/steps to how they came up with launch time numbers.

I've heard previously that Clojure had some performance issues compared to other JVM languages like Scala on Android, but I didn't think it could be that much slower to load in comparison. Perhaps Clojure has to load more libraries and thus more overhead.

I guess it's about measurements through my videos, so:

1 - 5.1;

2 - ART;

3 - nexus 5;

4 - I'm measured time with `adb logcat`, it was more accurate than in article, but values are almost the same.
