That is true. I have not looked at the much of the clojure code and non of the go code but both probebly are written in a very unidiomitic style that one does normally not use.

Also with clojure, the actual timeconsuming calculations can be made with java and that should be at least as fast as go (with a bit more memory).

So all in all I value the architectural things much more then pure speed. Go simply has a diffrent target then Clojure.

Would that be idiomatic Clojure? :-)

Yes it would. Clojure is design with that idea in mind, make it connect really closly to java so that you can interop with no overhead.

Agreed on go being faster and using less memory, however, in practice, I think idiomatic clojure would have less code then compared idiomatic go, when writing similar programs.

> would have less code

Based on what?
