Native image has been getting better, with the Graal project recently making it much easier to get builds working on Windows. So it’s getting to be quite painless, so that I think it’s already worth it for people already familiar with Clojure.
But if you’re looking specifically to write small tools distributed as native binaries, Janet sounds like a much better choice.

I will be most interested when this gets easier, in particular if it works with sqlite and the unzip libraries. Those libraries are the major snags. I could not get it running on windows (the repo in question[1]).
