IME, regular JS is much faster than regular Clojure. You can make Clojure run faster than JS by writing Java with parenthesis, but then you defeat all the purpose of using Clojure in the first place.

That is a weird claim to make and completely not true in my experience. Idiomatic Clojure is faster than any JS except maybe asm.js-like stuff.

Clojure has always been measurably faster than JS for me on every use cases I've ever used it for.
