Good point, I'll update it to be more conservative for other people trying this out.

Oh, good point on the reflection optimisation. That will definitely be useful for squeezing a bit more performance out of the graphics. Will be interesting to profile and see where the pain points are. From my experience the worst performance points are within Bukkit and occur when any block has gravity calculations to perform. I purposely avoided lava + water due to this.

Spigot complains if you launch with the default MaxPermSize.
The developers there could make better suggestions as to why thats the case.
Spigot warning: ``` Warning, your max perm gen size is not set or less than 128mb. It is recommended you restart Java with the following argument: -XX:MaxPermSize=128M Please see http://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/changing-permgen-size/ for more details and more in-depth instructions. ```

Thanks for the note, I've ensured Ghostery only blocks the SoundCloud widget and not the entire post now.

Yes, I shed a tear as I had to remove all the futures. Disappointment I could not get multiple thread pools and scheduling with Clojure's concurrency primitives.

Thanks for those replies. I've updated that section to better reflect Scala just being a library dependency.
I'm looking forward to playing with Finagles Java API as at some point I'm going to need to connect our Finagle projects with our Clojure services.

Elixir is a programming language implemented on top of the Erlang VM. Its Set implementation however is often faster than Erlangs own sets. This explains how.

The aesthetics of density

Density gets poo-pooed on a lot as being unreadable. Languages like Clojure love density. Is Density in programming languages a good thing?
