this is fascinating. anyone applying these approaches with clojure? i'm wondering what additional considerations (if any) come into scope in the case of other jvm languages

Clojure would be a bad fit because it favors immutable objects (which result in lots of GC) and functional programming, which discourages mutative, iterative programming.

Deterministic behaviour is everything....

...and Clojure is the polar opposite to this due to its structure sharing.
