I believe clojure's made a lot of progress porting to android's JVM. Last I heard the clojure runtime took a couple seconds to boot, which is shitty if you're real serious about your apps, but not a dealbreaker. And the last time I messed with it was a couple years ago, I would hope to see improvements in that amount of time.

For Clojure it seems React Native + ClojureScript is the more popular option. It has good startup performance and works also on iOS: http://cljsrn.org/
