Something not mentioned here is that ABCL[1] will run in DoppioJVM[2], but the startup time is on the order of an hour last time I tried, so it's not yet practical.

2: https://plasma-umass.org/doppio-demo/
[edit]
With the doppio demo linked, I get a REPL in about 2 minutes on chromium and under 5 on firefox. That's a huge improvement since I last tried.
Performance is not great though; I ran the gabriel "boyer" test and it was 0.288 second on openjdk 1.8 and 63 seconds on Doppio in chromium.
