A comment on Peter Norvig's Sudoku solver: Clojure & Python side by side. Parent comment
1. I guess you compair small programms and clojure suffers from the JVM startup slowness not because of the clojure implementation.
2. You can use java objects, collection or arrays from clojure its just not often used.
3. Clojure has very good Java bindings and I think the C bindings arn't that bad. (there is a wrapper ofer the normal java stuff)
I guess ruby only performs better for scripting.
