Thx for the answers,

but my point is not to make it run faster. I know i could use memoization 
or use a loop with an accumulator variable.

Rather i want to find out why java is so much faster. Here my java 
implementation (the same naive algorithm like the clojure version):

public static int fib(int n) {
if (n < 2) {
return n;
}
return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
}


I also did some measurements with:

* golang fib(32) took ~15 ms
* python fib(32) took ~ 800 ms

Hence clojure performance is closer to python (which is slow in my opinion) 
than to a high optimized compiled language like Java.

I didn't understand it, i always thought Clojure performs similar to Java...
