Simon Brooke<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://framapiaf.org/@vindarel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>vindarel</span></a></span> That's true. The startup time issue is particularly harsh on <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/clojure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clojure</span></a>, and <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@borkdude" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>borkdude</span></a></span>'s <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Babashka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Babashka</span></a> would probably do a lot better.</p><p>But (a) this is very rough timing, and (b) startup time is some sort of proxy for the compactness of the runtime system; and <br>(c) the thing that's still astounding me is that <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/PicoLisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PicoLisp</span></a> is (sort-of) an interpreter, while all the others execute compiled code, so bloody should be faster!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Lisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lisp</span></a></p>
(λ. borkdude)<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/babashka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>babashka</span></a> is used by almost 93% of respondents to the question "which Clojure dialect to you use" in the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/clojure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clojure</span></a> survey 2024!</p><p><a href="https://clojure.org/news/2024/12/02/state-of-clojure-2024" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">clojure.org/news/2024/12/02/st</span><span class="invisible">ate-of-clojure-2024</span></a></p>
(roll m3tti)<p>Wow <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/babashka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>babashka</span></a> impresses me more and more. Currently developing a solution for a customer based on <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/borkweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>borkweb</span></a> and it just works. Its simply awesome @borkdude for this <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/clojure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clojure</span></a> interpreter thingy!!!</p>

I knew <a href="https://norden.social/tags/graalvm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>graalvm</span></a> was really super interesting when I first saw <a href="https://norden.social/tags/babashka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>babashka</span></a> (it's a <a href="https://norden.social/tags/clojure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clojure</span></a> interpreter packaged as a native image). The thing is really ingenious and super useful in my daily life and has extremely short startup times and can be dowloaded as a single executable.</p>
