@asllop The point about #Clojure is that it really does immutability right, and consequently runs extremely efficiently on modern multi-core processors. The fact that it's JVM coupled gave it an early boost in that it could leverage thousands of pre-existing Java libraries, but I think that's less significant now.

@simon_brooke @asllop it's worth noting there's Jank now too which is independent of the JVM https://jank-lang.org/
Babashka is also notable, even though it's compiled using the JVM, it is a standalone executable that's lean.
@simon_brooke @asllop would be interesting to see side by side for sure
@yogthos Woohoo! following the Jank install instructions for #Ubuntu seems to work fine for #Debian13trixie !

I've installed lein-jank, but it does not seem able (yet) to start a jank repl.
Is there a how-to anywhere for porting a #leiningen project from #clojure to jank?
@simon_brooke my understanding is that anything that's pure clojure should just work, but obviously any libraries that rely on Java aren't going to since there's no JVM, and I think nrepl is already implemented, but maybe not well documented yet https://github.com/jank-lang/jank/tree/main/nrepl-server
Somebody at our local Clojure meetup was showing using nrepl with Jank a few weeks ago.
