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.

In my machine it took seconds.

Which version of ABCL were you running? I tested with the 1.5.0 binary jar.
